Responsibilities
During my placement, I was handed tasks that required me to take on a lot of responsibility. I was mostly left to work independently in order to develop my ability to handle tasks. A key part of this responsibility would then be to present to key technical leads on the work I have been doing. This left me with the opportunity to answer technical questions that would require me to gather lots of information around the System.
Support & Guidance
I have received lots of guidance during my placement. 1. Line Manager - I was able to openly discuss my progress within the team and cater my objectives to what I'd prefer to work towards. 2. Technical Coordinator - Provided additional information, guidance and support for ways to maximise the experience I have gained during the placement. This gave me an opportunity to raise any concerns with my experience in MBDA as a whole. 3. Personal Buddy - Was extremely helpful in easing me into the company. It allowed me to discuss work-life balance in an informal manner and receive guidance on how to progress in early career stage.
Culture
The company culture is really good. The work-life balance can be very flexible. Everyone within the company is happy to help with any issues or queries you may have.
Your Impressions
I think my placement has been a great opportunity to develop my skills within the workforce that I can use to not only develop throughout the early-phase of my career, but to also develop my confidence when taking on tasks in my final year of university. There have also been great opportunities to attend company-held events and partake in extra-curricular activities that made me feel welcomed.
Yes
Be yourself. It's really important to be yourself as it helps the company understand your true personality and genuineness in your passion/goals. Make sure to express your key interests within your role and express how it may align with any research you have conducted about the company.
