DTS - Software Engineer Review

Responding to telematics queries & concerns from customers. Creating tools for the team to use.

Learnt a lot about telematics. Developed my existing skills in software and programming.

I enjoy what I do but would appreciate more opportunities to explore the wider company outside my team.

University side is mostly well structured, just suffers from a lack of communication sometimes. The work side isn't particularly well structured with apprentices put in a department .Needs more structure to our working days to promote more experiences and learning.

My manager & team are supportive but I receive practically no support from the early careers team without having to reach out and keep pushing for a response. Early careers need to be more proactive in providing support and experiences to their apprentices.

Warwick are mostly ok at providing support but it very much depends on your current lecturer as some are better at helping than others. Overall they suffer a lack of communication which can leave apprentices feeling unsure.

I feel it does help me as I can apply most of what I learn at my job. There are some modules that don't feel very relevant such as business management but this isn't up to the university.

There are networking events and other activities available through Yammer I believe.

Yes

Good way to make money and work towards a degree at the same time. Working on real life products and exposure to interesting upcoming tech.

Learn about the company, have a passion for the technology and be yourself.
