Responsibilities
Yes. I was tasked with managing my own project, recording & reporting its own process. ensure the repository was kept up to date and propriety data was correctly looked after.
Support & Guidance
Fantastic support & guidance. I was quickly introduced to the concepts of mathematical modelling & coding using R. I was provided a welcoming environment to practice the coding skills. multiple meetings weekly were useful for tracking my progress and made support easy to access.
Culture
Company culture and general atmosphere was also fantastic. plenty of both work based & extra-curricular activities readily available for both career progression and just general relaxation. Everyone was extremely welcoming .
