The Role
I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely the best experience that you can get from your university years! You will feel challenged and your work will be appreciated exactly like you'd work full time!
A lot. I worked closely with my team, continuously developing new features. Did lots of pair programming and independent work as well. My skills were valued and they are very open minded to any suggestions you may have (they actually encourage you to do so)
Your manager is first point of contact. Mine was very supportive, taking care that you enjoy your work and deliver the best. You are also assigned a buddy, someone close to your age that you can share any concerns or questions. I worked closely with my buddy and that was fun! She was also very open with feedback, making sure i succeed in my work.
Depends. I was working in an Agile environment with my team. I guess it depends if it's the beginning of a sprint or the end when you have to do releases :D
The responsibility increased with every month of my placement as i got more experience and understanding. They will give you plenty of work to do based on your skills.
This placement will definitely add impressive value in my future experiences. You learn much more in the year in industry than in university. That's what people say and after an year, i definitely agree. Learned many technologies, patterns and practices that i'm sure will be useful in my last year of uni as i gained much more confidence, as well as in my future jobs!
The Company
The atmosphere was great! Everyone in my team was easy to get along with. They will invite you for a coffee break or lunch or dinners. Moreover, if you have any technical questions, you can ask anyone around and they will definitely find a way to help you.
Very organised. When i joined i had training setup by my team, as well as HR events. Then the tasks adapted to my skills and interest. You will received plenty of feedback which is great!
They invest a lot. As i said you have plenty of training and they ensure you are never bored
Flexi Time
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Based on your skills, if you are a good fit for your team and the firm as well as if they can hire people, they will make you an offer after the placement. Most people succeed. I hope the same:D
The Culture
Yes! HR will take care you are all involved in many events. And you also have your team which is fun!
Okay I'd say. Your salary will compensate and it's plenty to save for your last year of university. Also if you know where to eat, then everything goes well!
It's London so... :D
You are allowed to 1 day of community work which was really good. + Societies, learning opportunities etc
