What does a day in your life at Capgemini look like?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In my day-to-day at Capgemini, I\u2019m responsible for helping clients make good cybersecurity decisions. That doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be pure consulting work, like advising on a project or planned system change. I might be doing infrastructure support on something like \u2018user access\u2019, which is absolutely vital for application usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a security-specific standpoint, it\u2019s often about balancing usability with that security. We need to ensure people using an application won\u2019t be slowed down, whilst also meeting government security expectations security for the application itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the moment, I\u2019m working mostly from home. We have a daily \u2018stand-up\u2019 meeting and that definitely helps a lot with making sure that everyone\u2019s communicating with each other. At Capgemini, I\u2019ve found there\u2019s a huge amount of support to be found from people across every part of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013&nbsp;<strong>What\u2019s the best thing about working at Capgemini?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s that, the support. The amount of support that is provided by the company and countless employee groups is astounding. Even if it\u2019s not on the same project, because of the size of the company, there\u2019ll be someone you can go to and say, \u2018Hey. Have you seen this before? Can you help me?\u2019 And almost always, they\u2019ll be able to say, \u2018Yes. This is what you need to do.\u2019 No matter what your issue is, there is someone who can and will, provide some support to help you solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working in a company where the individuals actually take actions in the causes they believe in, with upper management also picking up the torch through to the end, goes to show how powerful a workplace Capgemini really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it means you really can be your true self at work. Personally I am someone who struggles to be themselves and yet the support I have been given while working at Capgemini has allowed me to really be the person I want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013&nbsp;<strong>What makes you proud to work at Capgemini?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Employee Resource Groups (ERG) such as Women@Capgemini and OUTfront, which is our ERG for LGBT inclusivity, make me proud. Capgemini Australia won an award for LGBT inclusivity, and Capgemini has been named the best in Australia. We have an allies workshop, which is trying to make the whole idea of ally-ship much more approachable to the company. This includes a register of people who have signed the ally pledge, which is essentially a pledge to support LGBT people, making Capgemini a more inclusive space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It definitely sends a message that this company genuinely cares about inclusion and supporting its employees, and that\u2019s a huge part of why I feel so comfortable working at Capgemini, personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013&nbsp;<strong>How are you working towards the future you want?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Capgemini has several internal groups working on sustainability and is genuinely trying to make everything we do more economically sustainable and environmentally friendly. To me, that\u2019s essential and it\u2019s a step up over just putting money into third-party programs and carbon offsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capgemini also supports professional aspirations. When I started, I didn\u2019t really know where I was going to go. But then seeing the broad range of topics and projects, it was like I could do almost anything. And there\u2019s also room in the company for you to grow your own professional initiatives. With so many training resources, you can be in one technology stream and then be training and potentially working in a completely different one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013&nbsp;<strong>What advice would you give to someone joining Capgemini?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Take every opportunity that comes your way and don\u2019t be afraid to try things outside your comfort zone. Capgemini is a global company and just in a single city there is such a wild variety of different work being done. You can get experience and significant skills in work you may never have touched on in university or your prior experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just having a better understanding of the larger picture of the systems you are working inside, even if you are primarily only working in a single part, gives you an insight that consultants especially can take advantage of. These kinds of insights may end up being vital knowledge when it comes to impressing a client, or assisting a co-worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013&nbsp;<strong>How do you think Capgemini\u2019s support has been since the pandemic began?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazing. I work with a lot of people from India for example, and Capgemini has started multiple programs there, including one around getting people access to oxygen and ventilators. And the support isn\u2019t just coming from leadership, but from everyone. I was seeing email chains of people trying to support each other, like discussing where hospital beds are available. It\u2019s at all levels. The employees are all working very hard to look after each other, but the management is very aware of the risks and what\u2019s happening to their employees too. I consider myself very lucky to be with Capgemini during this pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cybersecurity
