Project Manager Review

I've had a great experience starting my career at Computacenter and have felt supported in my career journey here. There is a great friendly environment and at the company and everyone is willing to help where they can.

For my first project I had experience as a deployment manager working on a customer site 5 days a week leading a team of up to 4 engineers. This included team management and leadership, as well as daily reporting and updating being relayed to the wider team and dealing with technological issues as they arise. I was lucky enough to travel abroad while working on this project and would say that was definitely what I enjoyed most as a part of my role.
For my next project I was assigned to a PMO which involves running several smaller projects from initiation to closure, this includes reporting, planning, financial tracking, and resource allocation.
This has been a challenging role, but one which I am enjoying and learning a lot from. I've enjoyed the community atmosphere on the project and being able to see the positive impact that each project delivers.

I feel that currently, I do feel valued in my team and that I am able to contribute meaningfully but that there is a small amount of room for further development in this area.

There are some perks and benefits, however I find the systems a little harder and more complicated to navigate which results in me tending not to use some of the perks schemes.
We do have a Bravo recognition system where you can be nominated for good feedback and rewarded with vouchers, I believe this is a good system.

We gain on hands experience and are placed in real project roles from as early as 2 months into starting the graduate scheme, this means that we gain plenty of in role experience before finishing the graduate scheme.

We received a great support network as a cohort of graduates. Our line manager was extremely supportive and I always felt comfortable in being able to talk to her. Additionally, we had a buddy system in place where we were buddied up with previous years graduates, almost providing us with a built in support network from the beginning. There was also a mentor system in place but I think the support experienced from this differed between individuals.

I have rarely felt that Computacenter has prevented me from having a work life balance. Holidays are encouraged and if you are feeling that your work life balance is being effected you are encouraged to raise this to management.

Friendly and supportive environment.

They are very diverse and inclusive in their culture and hold internal and external events related to all areas of diversity and inclusion.

Yes

Friendly environment to work in and encourages career growth and development.

The role matched my expectation completely.
