I liked that the simulation provided practical exposure to technology and data-related tasks in a real-world banking environment. It helped me understand how data analysis, problem-solving, and technology can support business decisions at Commonwealth Bank. The activities were structured and gave me valuable insight into the type of work involved in the industry.

I liked that the simulation made data science practical and easy to understand. I enjoyed using sorting and filtering to analyse real-world-style transaction data and then using the results to make decisions about which customer demographics CBA should target. It also helped me understand how data cleaning and analysis can support business decisions.

I like the fact I was able to explore the various sectors that are been carried out by the iOS engineering team at the CommonWealth Bank ... From widget design through requirement engineering, cybersecurity and data science. It was a wonderful experience and I gained a lot on how such companies operate in order to deliver a product, tool, or feature.
