Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working on a client project from home as well as keeping up with university assignments
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Extremely happy with my program. I get all the support i need and feel a lot more welcomed than i was expecting to be

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Time management
Professionalism

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very well structured, don't think it could be structured any better. There is a 10 week bootcamp on university campus and after that, it is university from home as well as work from home.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot more support than I was expecting. If i have any issues whether its with university, work or personal life, i always feel accommodated by Capgemini
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
The training provider is okay, not the best. they support if you need it, but very minimal. they have things in place but don't support you and make the effort as much compared to capgemini
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
definitely feel that it helps. the projects we are given in university help us to think very abstractly, especially the programming module which i feel helps with the work we are given at the company
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
there are social events that take place, but not too often. there are barely any sports teams but quite a few professional working events

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Capgemini to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Everything about how they operate and make sure that you are getting the support you need is perfect and i personally feel i couldn't ask for more. they make sure that even if the training provider isn't helping you succeed, they will help you themselves
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
Do a lot of research about the company when applying and mention as much as you can about them during interviews. Check out the awards they have won, things they are currently working on (AI, projects etc.)
