Software developer Review

Checking and understanding code. Testing and Fixing code. Assisting the team with whatever task are relevant.

I have learnt the very basics of software development

The course is enjoyable as it gives me an opportunity to learn new things and so far there hasn't been a great deal of pressure to suddenly be good at my role.

The course started poorly - spending weeks trying to teach yourself with little input from course tutors, the levels of assistance have improved over time. Most work tasks are too big to do without guidance and most staff are too busy to spend a long time providing assistance.

This can vary - there is no pressure and everyone understands our limitations and needs but it seems like the teams are too stretched to have anyone spending time clearly explaining and helping with work.

We receive emails with help, extra tuition and meetings with the training provider and work management in order to discuss progress and make sure things are on track.

It gives a base to start learning from and introduces you to aspects of work that you may not deal with in the work itself

Yes, there are different clubs you can join and events to go to like coffee mornings and speaking events.

Yes

All the staff are very friendly and accommodating, a very relaxed atmosphere and allowed to just get on with your job.

Be prepared for a lot of self learning but also be aware that everyone is very supportive and there to help.
