Software Engineer Review

Working within the tooling team to maintain and create in-house tools. Also, working to increase efficiency and money saving through the tools. Interacting with teams all across software and external.

Learnt everything about software, and a lot about development methods, software tooling, and software security

I enjoy it. MBDA are very supportive but the uni less so

Reasonable. Did have an intense semester in final year, as well as no summer for 3 years of 4, unlike other apprenticeship programmes at MBDA, Also finish 6 months later than others

A lot. They support with anything and everything they can

They are supportive in some aspects, but feedback is limited and lecturers are grossly inconsistent

It does help, but most of my learning has come from practical experience

Lots of extra events to get involved with, as well as 'society' type groups as well as sports and social activities. Networking is encouraged as is STEM volunteering

Yes

Great company, becoming more competitive pay wise, very supportive, on an upward trajectory, everyone is super helpful

Be yourself, be authentic, be you!
