  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • New area certainly recognizes the effort people put in. However room for improvement for some people for example graduates can start on a significantly higher salary than those that have been here 4+ years. this is very unfair given the experience, fact that some grads aren't even from an IT background and will require training from people are who on less than them. this can be highly frustrating and I know it is discussed often. However area seem to be trying to improve this however I feel more should and can be done to help those with more experience - look after them and they'll stay as this is a great place to work!

  • 9b. Why?
  • I wouldn't be where I am today without the company and I don't regret joining for a second. They have given me the skills and a career for life and for that I am truly grateful for this opportunity.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
  • With regards to the apprenticeship put the effort in take time out of your day to revise and get all coursework done ASAP and don't sit on it. get it out of the way and it'll all be a breeze. take advantage of any additional courses the company provides and make sure you have IT experience beforehand as this'll really help you to ease in and pick things up faster.
