Overview
I was coding in a team of 4 interns. We joined the wider team for meetings and was helped in 1 to 1 sessions by members of the wider team. I also attended many intern events and socials.
Skills
I developed my coding and presentation skills. I was able to code in a range of languages and was encouraged to learn new skills as well as demonstrate the skills I already have.
Responsibilities
Thr team of interns I was in were quite independent and were given the responsibility for organising ourselves day to day. We had the responsibility for our project which enabled us to decide in which direction we went in with it.
Support & Guidance
I received lots of support and the intern leaders were always available for further support. My manager was helpful and often asked what other support I needed. There were also lots of resources available to get help from.
Culture
I really liked the company culture. It was very supportive and friendly and remote working was available. Small things like free snacks helped to make me feel welcome everyday. Furthermore the company promotes healthy lifestyle and the importance of looking after our mental health.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed this internship and am glad I did it. I would recommend it to anyone. The work life balance was good and the opportunities were excellent.
Yes
I would recommend practising your programming skills before the interview.
