Technology Placement Intern Review

Developing software, attending scrum calls, working remote as well as in-office, demonstrating my work and receiving feedback, having peer programming sessions

Have learnt a lot of devops and server related skills, and how software dev is carried out in a professional setting. Additionally have improved by existing frontend and backend development skills.

Since I was the only member of my team with experience in React, I led the development of the new microfrontends developed for our team's UI. Additionally, I occasionally supervised the tasks of other team members new to the frontend. I also performed important backend tasks under the supervision of our technical lead.

The HR graduate recruitment team was always able to respond immediately to any queries and my team members and manager were very open with each other, leading to a very supportive environment.

There's a strong business/corporate culture, and people are expected to dress in a formal manner. However, people are still relaxed and open with each other, and working hours and days in-office are flexible. There's also a strong emphasis on having a good work-life balance.

I enjoyed the placement very much, and believe there are few other companies where I would've had as good a time working. The days flew by and I'm hoping for a return offer.

Yes

Think about what exactly you want to do, but be willing to try out different teams, as there's a lot of intersection between work, and you may enjoying working somewhere you initially thought may not be as much fun.
