Arriving at 9 A.M., Nathan and I were ready to work at Field2Base. The company is located in Morrisville in an office complex with a few other companies also leasing office space. We were introduced to Rachel, the individual who will be guiding us for the next two weeks at Field2Base. She showed us around the two offices (they have two separate offices in the same complex) and then gave us our schedules for the next two weeks. She created an hour-by-hour list of all the events we will be doing at Field2Base, many of which are learning about the company itself. After she went over the agenda with us, it was time for their Daily Stand-Up. The stand up occurs at 9:30 AM every day and during this time all the programming staff gathers and discuss what they achieved in the prior day and what they plan to achieve during the current day.
After this occurred, we were issued laptops to use for the next two weeks. While the computers were being worked on, Rachel gave us a presentation about the company and told us about her past while offering opinions on potential job paths. Afterwards, 3 employees plus Nathan and I all went out to eat at a Mediterranean restaurant located in Morrisville. We discussed some of the company’s goals while getting to know each other as we ate delicious food.
After we returned, our laptops were ready to use, and we installed some of the beta software that Field2Base offers to its’ clients. We practiced using the software and were helped out by some of the employees that were available to do so. We ended the day by meeting all of the employees at the company.
