Overview
Working within the Product and Technology team to develop new tools, and build upon already existing systems, adding new functionality. Heavily involved within the team, taking part in daily stand-ups, covering progress on tickets and blockers faced. Involved in team wide meetings, looking at the quarterly plans, roadmap etc.
Skills
Developed my understanding of the software development cycle, as well as how a software development team operates. Improved my understanding of TypeScript, PHP, Vue.js, Laravel and Vuetify. Gained experience with QA, writing tests for API endpoints, and getting familiar with Postman.
Responsibilities
Given an incredible amount of responsibility. Spearheaded a new, vital project for the business, in which I was trusted to, and given the autonomy to work on key features within this project. Also worked on the main system and other services, allowing me to gain an understanding of how the business operates functions and operates.
Support & Guidance
Lots of support received. Never felt any pressure to rush my tickets, and every member of the team would give you the time to explain a concept to you, and help you out when needed. During onboarding, was given sufficient time and resources to gain an understanding of the system, and programming languages used before starting work.
Culture
Brilliant place to work. Office always vibrant and everybody was very friendly. Could not recommend more!
Your Impressions
Loved my placement year. So glad I accepted the offer, and could not have asked for a better year. I learnt so much, and was involved in a great team, working on an interesting project.
Yes
Be yourself in the interview. You are only an intern, so the team does not expect the world of you. Just demonstrate that you are a keen, hard-working individual.
