Capgemini |

Overall, Capgemini is a fantastic organisation to work for, especially as a Degree Apprentice. You will have the support around you to build your skills and knowledge so there is always the opportunity to grow. If you are looking for the best of both worlds between university and career progression, look no further.

I couldn’t see myself going to university full time, I wanted to learn on the job as this has always been my preferred learning style. It was a big decision given all my friends went to university, but I knew it was best for me. I knew was never going to thrive through classroom-based learning alone, Capgemini gave me the opportunity to obtain a degree whilst getting the real time work experience.

My favourite thing about working at Capgemini its diverse and inclusive work culture. I appreciate the opportunity to work alongside professionals from various backgrounds, which fosters collaboration and encourages fresh perspectives.

This role has allowed me to gain more experience and understanding that a non-early careers role in UX. This is because I was given the support to shadow, work under and eventually own my own work, with the support of Capgemini. For example, I have had the chance to be a user researcher, content designer and interaction designer – most people in UX stick to one role but we are exposed to all 3 roles which gives us a unique edge in our field. This gives me a great platform to grow and excel in my professional career.

Capgemini highly promotes open and transparent communication across all levels of the organisation. This has allowed me to freely express my thoughts, share ideas and collaborate with colleagues fostering an environment of trust and freedom of expression.

The culture at Capgemini has surprised me the most. Before joining I was worried because of how large the company was, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how welcoming everyone is and how quickly we are made to feel at home and offered so many opportunities to progress.

It’s a very inclusive company who adapt quickly in an ever-changing industry. Capgemini really does align with their seven core values. As well as this, the management are very approachable here and there are constant opportunities for growth at Capgemini.

One of the best things about working at Capgemini, is the true collaboration and team spirit between colleagues. It is a safe space to learn, have fun and ultimately build working relationships with a fantastic group of people.

What I really like about Capgemini is how much they care about employee’s wellbeing. I’ve seen it from all levels of management and have always felt like my physical and mental health genuinely matter. The motto “People matter, results count” holds true!​

My favourite Capgemini value is ‘Team Spirit’.’ This accurately captures how team members, including myself act in their project teams at Capgemini. Work is shared fairly; team members listen to each other and ensure work is delivered in a timely manner. As a graduate working in a team, I have been challenging myself by taking on different responsibilities, this has come from supportive members of my team who can see my potential and push me to go beyond my comfort zone. When there is a potential solution to discuss, all views are heard, and I am able to contribute my views without judgement.

I have never worked in a company where fun is prioritised in this way. It ensures that everyone enjoys what they do and though the work we do is taken seriously, we have a good time while doing it. This value means that there is a laid-back atmosphere where I feel comfortable to express who I am and approach my colleagues when I need a chat. This attitude makes me feel human in a company and not just a cog in a machine.
