The Role
I managed to meet wonderful people throughout my placement year and boost my network that enabled me to reach personal development.
CA Technologies has a strong culture, everyone is very helpful and supportive even in our busiest periods. Enjoyed working in the team and develop my team working skills.
I have been extremely self-driven and motivated to learn more things as much as I can and with the further guidance and support from my team I managed to develop exceptional skills.
Because of the nature of my jobs some days were busier than others, but overall my whole day is busy enough to handle it.
I was given many responsibilities once I have learnt how to accomplish my daily work.
I gained presentation skills which will help me to perform better in my final year. I am much more confident in sharing my opinion and thoughts.
The Company
Enjoyable and supportive.
There are some aspects for improvement, but I was proactive enough to help organising it.
Have been given online training, 1:1 sessions and got the opportunity to travel.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Working from home
There are some junior positions available in CA Technologies, however, graduate schemes would be a good idea.
The Culture
I made good friendships with my fellow placement students.
I am based in Datchet,UK so cost of living is much less than in London, UK.
Where I was based (Datchet), it's a very small industrial town and for better nightlife WIndsor is the closest option.
Yes, volunteering in STEM events, charity runs, etc.
