Overview
Worked on writing code in Kotlin for the Capital one Android app. Worked as part of the team and attended daily standup meetings.
Skills
Learnt how real life software engineering is and how tech at a big company works. Learn a bit about android development and kotlin.
Responsibilities
Yes a fair amount as my intern project that I worked on was pushed into the live capital one app.
Support & Guidance
Support and guidance was good. Always had a mentor whenever I needed some help that I could talk to.
Culture
Very very chill, friendly environment and no super strict timings as long as you got your work done.
Your Impressions
It was decent. I could have learnt more and the intern project itself could have been more challenging. Also was faced with many blockers during the internship which wasted a lot of time. However that made me experience a realistic life of a software engineer.
Yes
Be yourself and think creatively in interviews.
