Pros
Timely stipend payments: The company made sure to pay the stipend on time, which was really appreciated.
Independence: The role gave me the freedom to take initiative and work independently, which helped me grow as a developer.
Cons
Lack of senior guidance: The biggest challenge I faced was the absence of a senior developer in the game dev team. There was no one to guide me through complex issues, so I often had to figure things out on my own. While this taught me to be resourceful, it would have been beneficial to have more mentorship.
No clear team structure: There wasn’t a clear game development team, and I didn’t know who to collaborate with in this area. This made it difficult to build team-building skills or work cohesively with others, as there wasn’t a defined group or support network.
