Oracle Application Consultant Review

I am an Oracle applications consultant. My daily tasks vary depending on the project i am on at the current time and what my role on the project iS.I am in a UAT manager role at the current time and therefore I am tracking defects and ensuring that the defects has been closed in a timely fashion. I work alongisde my senior colleagues who continue to help me.

I have learnt how to become a more confident person. I am continually learning new skills , some as simple as learning how to speak to the client by observing senior members of the team. I have also been asked to become more specialised in Oracle specific skills such as implenting a project, which comes with experience on projects and attending Oracle courses.

I am really enjoying my programme as it suits my personality. I am continuing to learn new skills and can directly link my degree studies with working , helping to strengthen my skills as i am being taught them. Everyone in my team is supportive and helps me to achieve better in both my academic studies and daily work.

I have been praised through internal feedback and via promotions which i have receieved, since joining the company. I gain support and the senior memebers of the team ensure I feel appreciated.

Our programme is structured such that we simultaneously work and study for out degree, this is because it helps us to continue to gain experience and use the lessons learnt in our daily work. We receieve a mentor when we join who helps to guide you for the inital part of your career. In addition having many people who join together allows you to gain support from one and other as we all are in the same position. Those higher in the team hierarchy ensure the junior members of the team gain the support they need.

The lecturers at the university are helpful to a degree, however some of them do not understand our constraints as we work aswell as study. Some of the lecturers are very supportive andsome of the lecturers do not. However overall I a enjoying the course as i am constantly learning new skills and knowledge which i can use to apply to my job.

I receive alot of help from my employer. Since joining the company i have had positive attitude from all memebers of staff. They have all been willing to help me troubleshoot my problems and continue to help and guide me through my career. We have a global intranet site to help troubleshoot problems alongside our managers and HR team.

My salary meets my costs and it was more than what I had initially expected. It ensures I have enough money to spend on daily costs and social costs. My Travel costs are usually covered by the Company which also helps with the costs. I am very happy with my lifestyle and due to the fact that i am continually progressing in my career my saary constantly meets my costs.

Yes

Capgemini have helped to kick start my career in the most positive way possible. I gain invaluable experiences and skills and continue to gain the oppurtunity to progress my career and improve myself as a person.

My advice to anyone who is thinking of applying to Capgemini would be to ensure that you are yourself throughout the process and be honest to yourself and with those who are invovled in the application process. Durign assessment days ensure that you are yourself but be mindful of others as it is not a compeition as such (not a dog eat dog type concept) but instead Capgemini would like to ensure that you would align to the companies values and ensure that you are taking the best steps for your career.
