DTS Software Engineering Graduate

About Me

I am originally from Moscow, but when I was 13 we moved to the UK to the charming Roman city – Bath. In my free time, I enjoy doing pilates and yoga, which I try to balance out with an occasional night out.

Our Culture

I joined the Graduate Scheme at Centrica because I had such a great time during my summer internship. The culture here is what really convinced me to stay as everyone is so open and honest, which makes a huge difference. You always know what's going on and it feels like you can talk to anyone about anything regardless of their position in the company.

The support you get is amazing too. Whenever I’ve needed help or guidance, there’s always been someone to help me out. I’ve met some fantastic people here and the friendships and connections I’ve made have been a big part of why I enjoy coming to work. When I’m in the office, I make it a point to catch up with friends from other teams over coffee. It’s a nice break and a chance to stay connected with the wider team. Also, if it’s Thursday, there’s a pretty good chance we’ll all end up at the pub.

Why Apply

The support you receive here is incredible. If you’re willing to put in the effort, there are people ready to help you out and guide you along the way. I’ve never felt that I couldn’t make mistakes which makes it so much easier to learn.

There are also lots of opportunities for you to progress. Centrica’s culture is all about pushing you forward and helping you reach your full potential. They invest in your growth and there are mentorships and many learning platforms for you to use.

Top Tip

One of the coolest things about this scheme is the fact that you do three rotations. If you’re not sure what you want to specialise in yet, this is perfect. You get to try out different areas of the business and see what you like.
