Developer Review

It was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at MMT Digital. I was able to work on a variety of real projects as part of a team, with real clients, that were published in a live environment, whilst getting a real insight into the industry.

I felt very valued. I was able to work both as part of a team and independently and input in how that work was completed. My colleagues valued my thoughts and opinions.

I was given a lot of support and guidance from my peers - at MMT Digital I wasn't seen as a placement student, or an intern, I was seen as another developer in the company. I worked alongside the other developers and was given support, when needed, in the work that I was doing.

Very busy. I was working on real projects that were delivered against deadlines for the company's clients. I wasn't overworked, but I wasn't sat around doing nothing either!

In my placement year I was given the responsibility of delivering projects for real clients working as a developer in the company. Towards the end of my year I was also given the responsibility of leading a small team.

I think it's fair to say that without my placement year at MMT Digital I wouldn't have had the skills, or experience, to complete my degree at the level I did. If I'm honest, I learned more in that year than I did in my two years at University prior to that. It was really obvious in our final year classes which students had been on a placement year and which hadn't. I was able to make progress much quicker, and manage my time better to meet the deadlines.

It was fantastic - the team were all very friendly and there was a great culture in the office. We would all get together for lunch and spend time together outside of work, including the social events organised through the company such as the trip to Amsterdam! It was a great working environment.

It was well organised. Prior to starting I was kept well informed on my start date, time, and anything that was expected from me. From the day I joined there was work for me to do and my colleagues were available to provide training and support. I was well looked after throughout my time there and was kept up to speed with what was happening within the company.

The company exceeded my expectations in terms of their investment in me. I was able to attend internal training sessions, external training sessions and industry conferences. It was fantastic!

Very. I am now a full time employee of MMT Digital, and love it just as much, if not more, than my placement year at the company. There are lots of opportunities and areas to develop your career at MMT Digital.

I was the only placement student for a while, but there was definitely a good social scene amongst my colleagues, which I was invited to join. We played sport and went out in our own time regularly, sometimes even participating in 'hackathons' together.

I was fortunate enough to be able to live in the same city as I was studying, which was really setup for students so the cost of living and socialising remained the same as when I was at university. I had a short commute to work, but was able to car share with colleagues to keep the costs down.

The nightlife in the area that I worked was quite quiet, however most of my colleagues and I all lived in the same area, which was a student city, so the nightlife was fantastic.

Yes, as mentioned in the other questions, I was able to get involved in both company organised and colleague organised activities outside of work.
