Junior Business Analyst Review

As a Junior Business Analyst, I start my day off with a call with my team and discussing the tasks for the day. Every day I often work on spreadsheet software and enter new data. Since being at CGI, I have travelled to four different offices across the UK and met many new people. I have been able to build up my network and work on two different projects so far.

I have been sent on a Scrum and Agile course and gained a new qualification. I am also currently completing a Java course and gaining a Software Development qualification level 4. I have learnt many new skills when it comes to use Microsoft packages. Before starting at CGI, I had no knowledge of Java I now have learnt so much.

I love working for CGI, I feel like I am learning so much. I get to meet new people daily and have been able to make many new friends. I like the fact that my project role is n the business side, and when I am at training I am learning about the technical side. The programme allows me to work on the technical side and business side so I am gaining a better understanding of the IT industry.

I feel valued at CGI, I am often supported and feel like if I ever had any problems I would be helped and guided.

We had a two day induction where we met all the other apprentices. Due to induction I have made many new friends who I keep in close contact with. I am support by my manager and team and am able to study for the college side of the apprentice whilst working on the project. The program is well organised and I am really enjoying it.

I receive a lot of support from the training providers. They come in every six weeks and assess the work we have completed. At training I learn so much and they take into consideration that we do not have much experience. I really enjoy going to training.

My manager has always supported me and has taught me a lot. I have had a lot of support and learnt so much. My manager as always given me guidance and has helped me go on to a new role.

The salary for an apprentice is great at CGI. I am able to earn a lot whilst learning and gaining qualifications. The company cover costs for travel of training and going to different offices. The location is great also.

There are a lot of company events that we can attend. There are always classes and events that we can participate in. Outside of work I often talk to the other apprentices at CGI as I have made many new friends here.

Yes

CGI is great a company to start your career. You are learning so much whilst earning a salary. I have made many new friends. I have learnt so much since September and I am gaining knowledge on the technical and business side. CGI is one of the best apprentices and I feel it has really helped increase my confidence.

Be confident and make sure you know about CGI before attending an interview.
