Alaxandar Anandhan
Associate Professional: Project Management
"As a project manager, you have to network with lots of people. This includes vendors, clients, and project sponsors, internal and external stakeholders. Larger network increases the chance of getting a new challenge every day. Challenges include, client needing a change in scope, vendor not able deliver on time or resources not being available and many more. When you solve those challenges, it motivates you to look for more. It gives you the sense of achievement every time you help someone in trouble or you help your project out. At DXC, there is always someone behind you, ready to tell you that you are doing a great job when you achieve something."
Charisse Walton
Associate Professional: Banking
"The best thing about my job is being offered the opportunity to work with the client on the client site, and being exposed to a number of different streams allowing me to expand what I am capable of. Since starting the graduate program, I have been lucky enough to experience a great opportunity working at two major Australian banks. Each role was different from each other which allowed me to develop and focus on growing my skills and abilities. With each new skill comes a new challenge, which is beneficial to excel in my career path and be involved in future opportunities."
Elisa Giannini
Associate Professional: Design Engineer
"I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to learn from the best ones. My team is responsible to implement solutions that are complex and complicated. Seeing team members in action and being able to contribute even in a small way is invaluable. I enjoy any kind of task; even if sometimes some tasks might be repetitive and tedious, I take it as an opportunity to improve my skills and knowledge. Noticing team members easily assign me important responsibilities made me realise that I am part of the team."
Harry Khawaja
Associate Professional: Project Management
"Every project is unique and presents a different challenge. I enjoy being part of a team/focused group and have my eyes set on achieving a goal. Positive feedback from the client after a successful project is music to your ears. This is when you sit back and think about all the difficulties you and your team had to go through and how it was worth all of this."
Patrick Stoddart
Associate Consultant: Business
"I get to work with cool hardware and use my game design experience. Coming into a consulting role, I never thought I would have the opportunity to use my game design skills, let alone for a business purpose. I think a defining moment for me at DXC was when I rapid prototyped a demo on the HoloLens for a major airline. Rapid prototyping is my favourite task, as the (nice) pressure drives me to be a better developer, and a better consultant."
Phillip Matheson
Associate Professional: Sales Solutioning (Innovation)
"During my time here at DXC, I have had the opportunity to investigate many exciting forms of technology in order to understand its ability to help our clients on their digital transformation journey. Some of the technology I have recently been working with includes drones, 3D printers, robotics, holographic computing, artificial intelligence, virtual assistants, computer vision and internet of things. What excites me the most about my job is not the technology that I have listed… it’s the not knowing what the list will look like tomorrow."
Youssef Elias
Associate Professional: Sales Solutions
"What I really love about my role is that it is so flexible to accommodate with your other commitments. DXC utilises next-generation collaboration tools enabling you to work from home when you wish, like the ability to attend meetings just as though you were in the office. I also love the diversity of technologies in my role. Each client requires a unique and customised solution. Being in a pre-sales role, I get the exposure and get to learn the various offerings and solutions from DXC’s wide range of vendors, and using that to better understand what solution is best for our customer."
Zan Chou
Associate Functional Analyst (SAP)
"I am currently pursuing my career in the area of SAP ABAP and FI-CO, the most satisfying moment for me has been being able to solve problems in clients’ systems using the code I wrote. It can be very frustrating sometimes, but once the problem is solved the reward is enormous. I am grateful that I joined DXC as a graduate. I’ve learned so much from my mentors, managers and peers, who are all willing to help, teach and guide me throughout my journey. I also appreciate all the opportunities I’ve been given to work on exciting SAP projects and deliver real value to clients."
Kristina Panich
Associate Professional: Strategy & Sales, Banking & Capital Markets (Finance)
"One of the coolest things about my job is the opportunity I get to have 2 roles. In 18 months, I have learned a lot by being thrown into positions and activities that I had almost no background in. This has greatly expanded my skill set and given me more confidence that I can tackle new challenges in the future as my career progresses. That combined with the phenomenal support, encouragement and recognition from my Industry General Manager and a few other executives in our team has made for a great start to my time at DXC."
Alex Chew
Associate Professional: Application Developer
"The best part of my job is that I get to do something that is creative which I love to do. Coming from a creative and technological background, which includes music and tinkering with software and hardware, having the opportunity to use those skills that I have learnt is something I look forward to doing. Having a large cohort of other graduates to talk with is a great opportunity for me to get to know different people and how they operate under situations. I am also excited to see the skills I learn here be used on my own personal projects that I wish to do to explore my creativity side."
Andrew Lean
Associate Professional: Office of the CTO
"DXC has been fantastic so far. The intake is for a lot of grads so there is a cohort of peers to socialize and learn from. My managers have been really good about making sure I’m in a team and role related to my interests, while also providing time to learn new technologies and techniques. I feel my input is heard and see my work make a difference. As well as being surprised by how far I’ve managed to come in under a year."
Anna Do
Associate Professional: Immersive Applications Consultant
"A major part of my role involves using immersive technologies, including augmented, virtual and mixed reality, to help clients find solutions to their business problems. What surprised me most about this role was the range for creativity that it allows. In the team, we're always experimenting with new design ideas and technologies to bring more engaging and interactive experiences to our end users. It's exciting to see the amazement when people interact with virtual objects and worlds for the first time. Projects vary widely, so I'm constantly learning new things from my team members and mentors, who have given useful advice and tremendous encouragement to me in my time at DXC."
Carla Fleisher Petersen
Account Security Officer Support, Cyber Security
"DXC Technology has provided me with unlimited opportunities to learn, take on responsibilities and advance my career. My growing and strengthening network and drive for more has provided me experiences which now allow me to work on key projects for our team, including representing and progressing relationships with clients as DXC Technology. Working in Cyber Security continues to inform me of the full scope of business impacts from risks to technology. My team is encouraging and collaborative; always striving to be the best we can but also maintaining healthy, balanced lifestyles."
Chelsea O’Hanlon
Associate Professional Human Resources – Talent Management
"As a graduate in the HR team for the last 11 months, I have had the opportunity to work in two very different roles. I have had the ability to act as a generalist HR Business Partner and now more specifically in the Talent Management team. The generalist role allowed me to network with a large portion of the company and experience a new challenge every day. Talent management has allowed me to have insight into DXC’s learning and development, attend events and network with the senior leadership team. At DXC I have developed my skill set immensely and I have been lucky enough to share my growth with the best team."
Ciara Wade
Associate Professional: Marketing & Communications
"The best part about my job is being able to learn a wide variety of skills through being involved in a range of campaigns. No two days are the same and I get to meet and work with many different people. Over the past 18 months I have been able to work on a range of projects such as physical events, social media campaigns, paid advertising, collateral creation, digital marketing campaigns and online events. It’s exciting being involved with each campaign from start to finish and seeing the outcome of your work."
Don Anthony Wijeyesekera
Associate Professional: Consultant, Emerging Solutions
"The best thing about my experience at DXC has been the wonderful team and work I’ve been involved with. Being a part of the Emerging Digital Solutions team has meant that I can get involved in projects that show off cool and up-and-coming tech. Coming from a background in robotics meant that I was already interested in this type of work, but I never imagined that I would be able to have hands on experience so early in my career. This experience has been multiplied by being part of a supportive and enthusiastic team that helps turn any problem into a challenge we can work on together to solve. If this is just the beginning, I can’t wait to see where it goes from here."
Harrison Oates
Associate Professional: Business Operations Analyst
"The ability to see DXC from a birds-eye view, working with leaders from all over the company can involve a lot of responsibility though also a lot of opportunities. Sometimes the work can be a bit daunting though working with a team of capable people offering new perspectives on matters can make the work a lot more manageable."
Jake Coleiro
Associate Professional: Business Operations
"At DXC, my manager has significantly invested in my personal development through providing the opportunity to gain wide exposure across the company and in further progressing my career. I have also found satisfaction through the opportunity to network with a large number of fellow young professionals as well as seasoned professionals. I highly recommend DXC as a great company to start your career."
Jithin Xavier
Associate Professional: Project Management
"As a project manager at DXC, I am responsible for the execution, monitoring and closure of a project. My area of expertise is IT Infrastructure and it is safe to say that no two protects are the same. On a day to day basis, I engage with a number of stakeholders both internal and external, in order to drive my projects to a successfully complete according to scope, time and cost. This not only allows me to upskill my interpersonal skills, but also allows me to grow my network at the same time. My journey as a Project Manager at DXC has allowed me to travel to Japan to deliver a project, and work in a challenging situation where I built close relationships with my team and clients."
Lauren O’Connell
Associate Professional: Alliances
"The best thing about DXC's graduate program is you're doing real work & being assigned real responsibilities. I love being tasked with a project & being able to make it my own. The support & recognition our leadership provide is rare for a graduate program and something I'm very grateful for!"
