Intern Review

Day to day I would shadow calls, meet or skype call different people from my team from across the world. I would also complete different weekly tasks depending on the part of the team I was with that week. I did rotations with PM, Testing / QA and BFA within my team.

I have first developed many hard skills such as python, using the GCP, github, excel, research skills, using Jira and confluence I have also developed many soft skills such as team work, leadership, organisation, communication skills, professionalism and more I have developed these skills from both working with my team, as well as working on the intern project.

Not a lot, I think there was a greater focus in me getting a greater and wider understanding of different roles on my team and so I was able to complete smaller tasks throughout my rotations within the team.

I received a lot of support and advice from my manager, people from my team, my buddy as well as from Jess.

I was pleasantly surprised with how approachable and welcoming everyone was especially in my beginning weeks. Everyone was super helpful with any questions that I had and the overall atmosphere was very positive.

I really enjoyed my internship experience. I learnt a huge amount from my team and have developed on many of my skills. I also enjoyed meeting the other interns and attending the intern sessions and socials.
