Software Engineer Review

Build software to meet business needs, specifically using Golang and API integration. Facilitating knowledge transfer.

developed coding and management skills

I enjoy the learning side of things and working on projects. There is a lot of management stuff that seems like it's not really what the programme is about, but it is a corporate environment.

the university is disorganised and have been all over the place. My work team have been very supportive and keen to help, but they seem a bit unsure what to do with me as they haven't had an apprentice on this programme before.

My employer is very supportive and offers help wherever they can. They seem unsure of what I'm supposed to be doing which means I need to be the go-between between them and the university.

Very little. The university organisation is not good and the lectures are of wildly variable quality. Assignments are useful but huge with little prep or time.

My qualification will be useful in my role in terms of the overview and business sense. The coding aspect is not covered by the degree.

Loads; all sorts of organisations, events in the office, groups for running/knitting/LGBT/sustainability to mention a few.

Yes

It's a very diverse and open workplace that gives a lot of autonomy to it's employees. There are a lot of different roles and areas to work in so you can find where you want to work.

Be prepared for a corporate environment and to take initiative as they won't babysit you. However, if you're an interesting person with passion, that will stand you in good stead.
