Software Developer Review

I am a Software Developer in a software development team, writing code that helps the team on the project. I write for code targeting the .NET Framework.

I have learnt skills in programming in C#, Javascript and HTML.

I enjoy the project work and training because I enjoy learning more about software development.

I feel valued by the other members on my project, however I must say we could be valued more by the company as a whole.

The induction was well organised, unfortunately there was much delay with getting us on projects and doing work. also I feel uncertain as to what opportunities lay ahead of us.

The training provider I feel has been good at supporting us, there are people we can contact if we have issues and the tutors a very good

The support from the employer has been good in that we can contact people if we have an issue, also the members on my project are more than happy to help.

This is my biggest issue, I am commuting by train every day which is very expensive, if I were to relocate closer to my office that would be just as expensive if not more, as a result half my pay is gone before I've even looked at it. I feel our pay is not adequate, especially given other similar apprenticeships pay a lot more.

There are opportunities for things such as charity runs, enterprise competitions, and football tournaments, which are a good opportunity to meet other people and build up a network.

No

I would recommend it if the pay was more inline with other Level 4 apprenticeships, however sadly as it stands I cant.

Find a cheap way of getting to work, enjoy programming.
