    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • Generally, the day starts with a stand-up meeting to update yourself and the team. I also tell the team what I will be working with today. Then, I would try to help the team or resolve the assigned issues myself. In short, my role is generally to support the team as much as I can while actively learning about the product I am working with.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • Yes and no. The product I was working with is quite challenging to work with, so I have limited ability to assist the team. However, the team will assign me tasks that I can handle once I have more knowledge about the product. I can acquire this knowledge on my own or with the help of my teammates

  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

    • People in this company are very warm-hearted, reasonable, and kind, as someone without much industry experience. Most of the people I met in the company were glad to take some of their time to teach or give advice to ensure I gained the appropriate understanding of the problem I was having.

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to Redgate

    • Advice for software engineer: For technical side, I have nothing much to tell other than prepare yourself (algorithm, design pattern, and other general knowledge about programming in general) For soft skill side, be honest and do a bit of research of company, and see if you are interested in any product developed by Redgate.
