Reviews
In my first year, my responsibilities include completing learning modules, obtaining Microsoft certifications, shadowing my buddy, and starting to assist on projects. Additionally, there are various extracurricular groups available. I am currently involved in planning social activities for the early career community and working with the social impact practice in their digital accelerator program.
Consistent, and very educational.
Make sure the systems are functioning and do basic patching and the like to make sure it continues to do so.

Pros and cons of working at DXC Technology
Pros
Great team and nice environment. Easy enough to get to, good working hours.
The friendly and positive work environment where I can ask questions comfortably.
The best part about working at DXC is collaborating with my peers in the early careers community and enjoying the flexible work environment.
I like the fast-paced nature of the work and the opportunity to learn new skills as well.
The people, support and guidance I’ve received.
Cons
The fluctuation in the workload is a bit difficult to create a habit for, one moment you can be working and doing your grad training at the same time and the next you don't know when next you will get a chance to do it again.
While it's great to work in a global company, building a team culture can be more challenging.
Large number of people prefer working from home which makes it a bit more difficult for team activities.
Having to use up annual leave for the end of the year break.
Legacy codebases are very challenging.
