Software Engineer Review

I'm generally working with clients on their systems, they're often quite complicated but it's really enjoyable as I get to have a behind the scenes look into how they work.

It's very very weird how well aligned my program is to what I'm doing in university and it shows that a lot of thought and attention to detail has gone into the development of the program from all angles, this being pay, progression and how the program fits into what you're doing

I get a set amount of study leave every year on top of the days off I get to attend university, so from that perspective it's amazing, but I'm also finding that working with experienced professionals is amazing with how much you learn, for example seeing something in university the one day and then the next day seeing what you learnt in a live system (at a significantly bigger scale is really quite amazing)

My training provider has again been very good, they're very aware we're working and not typical university students, and they know that we're busy outside of the university. When we're in university they help us a lot with any problems we have, now we're getting back to being in person it's also getting a lot easier to ask questions and properly engage in the sessions.

Being that it aligns so closely with what I'm doing in work it's tremendously helpful. There are a few bits I would say that perhaps aren't so relevant but on the whole, it's been very good

Yes

Capgemini has recently been certified as a great place to work and I would definitely agree with that, they're very supportive and have a people-first approach from what I've seen. Because of the attention to detail in the management structure of the company, it means that it's very easy to go and talk to someone very senior if you ever would feel the need to.
