A Typical Day in the Office

First tasks of the day...

I normally arrive at the office before 8.30am.  From my group, only my manager and another colleague are already there. 

After powering the laptop on, I check my e-mails and the agenda for the day and I see in my calendar a status report and discussion at 11am. So there's plenty of time to get some work done before it. I set myself to work and develop an interface for a client from an already accepted functional description. 

At the meeting with our manager, we share this week's progress on our tasks and what we are planning to do next week. Technical issues are also discussed in detail and how we can resolve them.

More developing in the afternoon

At lunchtime, I usually eat in the company canteen with my colleagues. In the afternoon, I continue developing. We use a version control system to keep our code organized, so at the end of the day, I can check my work before I head home.

Places I have been

When I joined, our office was in Budaörs. This is a city next to Budapest. Actually, this was the only disadvantage when I was deciding whether or not to come to work for Capgemini. Not long ago, our office moved to Budapest. Now the travel time is shorter and the new place is better.

Life at Capgemini

Working for an international company

As Capgemini Hungary is part of a large company, so I now know what it's like to be part of a multinational group and there are a lot of opportunities for me to practice my English - like writing this testimony! Everybody has helped me settle into the company, which is really great since this is my first job.

The work environment

I really like that people working on the same project sit near one another. It means that we can discuss any problems immediately so there's no need to organize a meeting.

Learning opportunities

The company encourages learning and improving our skills. So last year, I successfully passed an exam that helps me with software development which I'm most please about.

My personal life

I'm a gamer...

Since elementary, I love playing video games. I still play sometimes, but a lot less, and not only because I have less free time.

 

But I love the outdoors too 

I'm frequently working out and started bouldering with my friends, that's climbing short heights without any rope. We practice at a local gym with mattresses on the floor. I also started power walking. These are organized hikes where checkpoints are scattered along the trail and you have to be in the finish before a certain time for successful completion. At the start, you receive a route description, a map and a sheet which is stamped at each checkpoint. The reward is usually a certificate and a badge.

Work with us

If you have a passion for challenge and achievement, and a desire to make your career with a company that embraces collaboration, then consider what Capgemini has to offer.
