What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?

My responsibilities include supporting IT service delivery, managing and prioritising work, resolving issues, and collaborating with colleagues to support business objectives. I particularly enjoy the variety of the role, opportunities for continuous learning, and working with others to solve problems and deliver positive outcomes.

How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?

I believe the compensation package is fair and competitive. The flexible benefits programme is particularly valuable as it allows employees to choose options that best suit their personal and financial priorities. Benefits such as pension options, wellbeing support, healthcare, employee share plans, and lifestyle discounts contribute positively to the overall package.

How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?

5/5
My role has provided valuable experience and helped me develop a broad range of professional and technical skills that will be beneficial throughout my career. I have had opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues, take on increasing levels of responsibility, and gain exposure to different areas of the business. The experience has helped me build confidence, improve my communication and problem-solving abilities, and develop a strong foundation for future career progression.

How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?

4/5
I have had many opportunities to develop both new and existing skills through my day-to-day role. The practical experience gained has helped me strengthen my technical knowledge, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and professional confidence.
While operational priorities have sometimes limited the amount of time available for formal training, there have still been opportunities for self-directed learning and professional development. Overall, I feel that the combination of practical experience and learning opportunities has supported my continued growth and development.

Experience & Company Culture

How is the support you receive?

4/5
Overall, I have received strong support from managers, mentors, buddies, and support teams. Regular guidance and communication have helped me develop professionally and settle into my role. As with any organisation, there are opportunities to further enhance support and development pathways, but my overall experience has been very positive.

How is your work-life balance?

3/5
My overall work-life balance has been mixed. While my working hours generally provided a clear separation between work and personal time, there was an extended period where shift rotations and the nature of the working environment made maintaining wellbeing more challenging.
Working in a highly controlled environment with limited opportunities for informal interaction could feel isolating at times, particularly as an early-career employee who benefited from collaboration and peer support. The rotating shift patterns also made it more difficult to establish a consistent routine outside of work.
Despite these challenges, I gained valuable experience and developed resilience, adaptability, and professional skills. Overall, I believe there are positive aspects of the role, but there are opportunities to further support employee wellbeing in more restrictive working environments.

What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?

4/5
The organisational culture is generally positive, welcoming, and supportive. I have found colleagues and managers to be approachable, and there are opportunities to collaborate, learn from others, and build professional relationships across the organisation.
The organisation places importance on inclusion, wellbeing, and professional development, with a range of initiatives and programmes available to employees. While some roles and working environments naturally provide different experiences, my overall experience has been that people are supportive and willing to help others succeed.

How would you rate DXC initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?

5/5
I have had positive experiences with the organisation's approach to equality, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. The various events, learning opportunities, and support initiatives demonstrate a genuine commitment to creating an inclusive environment. I particularly appreciate the focus on ensuring employees feel supported and valued regardless of their background or individual circumstances.

How would you rate DXC CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?

4/5
DXC provides a range of opportunities for employees to engage with community, fundraising, and volunteering initiatives. I have particularly enjoyed taking part in events that support charitable causes while also encouraging teamwork, networking, and employee engagement.
These initiatives help create a positive sense of community and demonstrate a commitment to giving back. Participation in charity and community-focused events has been one of the highlights of my experience, and I appreciate the opportunities available for employees to become involved.

How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?

4/5
Overall, the role has aligned with many of the expectations I had during the recruitment process, particularly in terms of learning opportunities and professional development. However, I had anticipated greater exposure to different areas of the business through rotations. While I have been able to develop valuable skills and experience, more opportunities to experience a wider variety of functions would have provided a broader understanding of the organisation and potential career paths.

My advice to applicants would be to remain open-minded and proactive throughout their journey. Take advantage of networking opportunities, development programmes, and the support available from colleagues and managers.

Those who actively seek opportunities to broaden their skills and knowledge are likely to get the most value from the experience.
