6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Honestly, lecturers take too long to reply and it feels like they just set you with work and thats it you get on and do it. Some work set was not even reviewed and it was up to us (the students) to email the lecturer and mention that the work they have set is wrong....

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

No fitness activities because most of us work at client locations. Occasional social events in the year. Not had a professional event in a while but i think we do have some.

9a. Would you recommend Capgemini to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Degree programme was very useful and i woudl recommend it to anyone. But for people who want to join as a normal employee, i would still recommend because i believe (from my experience working with other clients), Capgemini emplyees are well connected. Also, if you work hard in Cap you get rewarded, so it all comes down to the work you put in. Capgemini are very fair with this and this is why they are a god compamy to work for.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?

Just be yourself, breathe during the interview and good luck :)
