Wintel Engineer Review

I was given a role as a wintel engineer where I work on servers/VMs building and decommissioning them mainly for clients aswell as other wintel tasks such as installs/upgrades etc.

Yes I have learnt a whole new range of skills, working on servers and VMs with Wintel OS that I hadn't had before.

I enjoy the social aspect of the academic programme and the events going on. I enjoy taking on new challenges and tasks in the opportunities that come my way

I think the organisation has improved alot over the time I have been here however I was not happy with the allocation of my role at the beginning as my career aspirations and uni specialism align with a software engineer role.

I do recieve good support from my employer especially with regards to dealing with the apprentice course provider as there have been some issues but my employer has handled it well for us.

The university is not the most supportive and the lecturers all haven't been the best however they do provide the resources taught in the lessons. They are working to improve after exchanges with my employer who was working to support us further.

The qualification generally is very good and provides alot of useful and helpful information and allows me to develop alot of my skills. However the role my company has put me into doesn't entirely align with my specialism I have chosen in the degree.

Yes I get involved in guild events, the book club and seasonal festivities events.

Yes

The academic programme is improving and there are alot of positives being here with this company. There are many roles a person can take on and having DXC on your CV is always a big plus!

Reach out to others and try make things happen for yourself. If you are not happy with the role you are in make it known and push for a change. Otherwise, get involved! It'll also build up your network.
