Overview
I analyse data from testing to identify errors and improve our products. I also work with other teams to improve our existing products and talk either customers to help the products meet their needs.
Skills
Yes, lots! I've improved my data analysis, report writing and presentation skills. I've also learnt Matlab and other MBDA specific software. I also feel I have become more confident and better able to communicate.
Responsibilities
Lots. I attended meetings with the final customer, created a spreadsheet for them, assisted in writing a report and made a PowerPoint for them. All my data analysis was also for the report and to help other people in the team.
Support & Guidance
Lots of support. It was a bit tricky at first because the rest of the team were at a different site but they were very helpful and communicative. Everyone was really nice and helpful. There is also plenty of training opportunities. Everyone also gets a buddy who helps them learn about the company and introduce you to the way things work.
Culture
Great! Everyone is really nice and helpful. I met so many people for coffee to learn about the company. It has a nice vibe. I also like all the social events going on.
Your Impressions
I loved it!
Yes
Read about the company and go in with enthusiasm and curiosity. I'm not from an engineering background and I still loved it.
