Reviews
There are some BAU tasks that we have to do on a day-to-day basis, which is understandably tedious but important for the continuation of the business. However, in the teams that I have worked with, we dedicate a lot of time to building new tools, work on projects, and make our work more streamlined and automated. I have been able to learn a lot about automating processes on two cloud providers as well as on local machines. There are exciting projects all around and it has been very true that no two days have been the same. There is a huge innovation culture and innovation is appreciated and encouraged.
The graduate program was more ad-hoc tasks. It would have been a lot better if there were tasks that I could take ownership of.
Currently a Development Graduate in the LLC space. I'm responsible for or assist with the project finances, design, sales, & marketing.
