    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I would say working at Clock offers you that perfect work-life balance. Every Monday I was informed about the current week's schedule. I have never felt overwhelmed nor underwhelmed by the number of tasks given to me.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Before I have started my placement year I was worried I won't be involved in any serious projects. I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised by Clock because ever since the first month, I was involved in implementing new features for one of the main clients at that time. Over time as my experience grew, I was given my own new project that I have worked on along one senior software engineer.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • All the skills I have learned during my placement year will have a significant impact on my studies, my professional life as well as my life in general. Coming back to the University now, I feel much more confident. Having a real-life industry experience will make my final year at the University much easier.
