Test Analyst Review

I am a Test Analyst, and I am a part of the Coolgen team. My daily tasks involve using CESA, SQL, NTC, etc. I lease with people I am working with, further developing my communication skills. I have worked on a number of projects, i.e. 84DZ (current project), 25FM, EN17, and many more. On a day-to-day basis, I am always kept busy, if I don't have any project work, I will be learning something else.

I have been on several different courses, i.e. SQL Training. These have all helped me to further enhance my knowledge, and my skills. In regards to the university aspect of this degree, I have a module called "Professional Practice", this has increased my level of professionalism in and around the office. My tutor has inspired me to always ensure I am mature, and approach everything with a professional manner.

I absolutely love my programme! The company is such a fantastic one to work for! Everybody is treated fairly, and everyone is equal. The work is always exciting, and everyone here is so friendly and approachable. Capgemini have rose above my expectations, and I am so happy I chose to work here.

I have been here for 9 months, and I have already got an applaud reward of £50, as well as a pay rise. I am always getting verbal praise as well, which is so lovely to hear - it really motivates you and makes you want to learn more. Management are always there for you if you need them, and are always willing to learn.

The programme is very organised, on our induction we found out exactly what we were going to be studying at University, and how long we will be there for, we were informed of our wages, and any contacts for support. When we arrived at University, we straight away got down to work, this was fun and made even better by the people that were in my intake. Everybody was more like a family, it was weird how well we all got on, instantly everyone just clicked. We had study groups in our flats, we also had down time with one another. If I could do it again, I would!!!!

As I have mentioned above, the managers are always there for you, 100%. I have recently had a few issues in regards to members of my family becoming severely ill - I informed my manager and straight away she comforted me and said if I needed time off to just take it.

See above.

My salary is very good for my age - if, unlike me, you don't have a lot of bills to pay, then the salary is very good. I have rent, food, car, etc. so it doesn't leave me with a reasonable amount for myself. However, I am continuously working so hard so I can get pay rises, and I can get promotions, so I can get as high as I can on my personal career path.

Yes! I have done SO many volunteering events!! I have been to schools, presenting our apprenticeship schemes there, I was also in a video yesterday, I travelled to Aston to take part in a video that will be shown for Astons Annual Charter Event. I have also taken part in the Brathay Challenge, and so much more!

Yes

Capgemini are such a good company, from the people that work there, to the companies core values. I have really enjoyed my time here, and I am looking forward to more years to come.

Just be yourself - cliché I know. But Capgemini employ people on their personalities. Show your drive, that you're willing to learn new things, take on new challenges, meet some amazing people, push yourself to become a better person, enhance your skills, and that you are motivated enough to take on anything that comes your way.
