Overview
A big part of the day is spent on tickets submitted by my colleagues that do need assistance from us. Requests regarding user access to mailing lists, calendars, specific apps, licenses, and users experiencing issues with their laptops are among the common ones.
Skills
I have learnt a huge amount regarding the operational side of the business, working with cloud technologies, communicating professionally, and tackling various projects individually as well as part of a team.
Responsibilities
Real responsibility was given to me during the placement. Always felt like a full-time employee with great exposure to the business and involved in meaningful projects that had a real impact on the business.
Support & Guidance
The team was really united and supportive. Truly a great environment to be part of. I have felt everyone was approachable and helpful when I or my colleagues needed assistance. Loads of support and guidance were given from the line manager as well, who massively contributed to my development and performance.
Culture
Relaxed and fun workplace. That place where you do come in at work being happy and leaving with a great sense of fulfillment. From day one, colleagues of different ranks from across the business were welcoming and managed to create a healthy, productive, and collaborative environment. Multiple social events in top locations in London, as well as charity events, are regularly organized.
Your Impressions
These 12 months spent at Egress working as an IT Operations engineer proved to be challenging but fulfilling on a personal level. This placement year has definitely been one of the greatest experiences for me as I have learned a huge amount regarding the operational side of the business, working with cloud technologies, communicating professionally, and tackling various projects individually as well as part of a team. It has been an invaluable opportunity that formed a solid foundation for my career in tech and one that I am glad that I took.
Yes
Definitely apply as you won't regret it later on. At Egress, I found true professionals, people dedicated to their work that do make a real impact out there. It will only get better and better for egressers, so don't miss being one of them.
