Overview
I am on the mobile team and I worked closely with the project in developing new features for the mobile app, and creating multiple test to optimise the functionality and ensure everything works.
Skills
I learnt how to pair programme effectively with some of my senior engineers. I also increased my communication skills because as an intern you have to be able to confidently speak to your colleagues.
Responsibilities
As I worked on the actual project with my team, I was able to make multiple contribution that will be pushed to production and seen in the mobile application. I am very thankful that I was able to see how the flow of everything works.
Support & Guidance
I received a great amount of support/guidance as I can speak to my seniors and reach out whenever I feel like. No question is a dumb question! Everything is about growth and elevation.
Culture
This has been the biggest factor for me! The atmosphere was so welcoming, I felt comfortable in the environment, everyone was so lovely and nice I genuinely have zero complaints.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed my placement a great deal and it is definitely an environment I would recommend to others.
Yes
Don't be afraid when appyling!
