Careers at BCS

Joining BCS changed my entire career path; it was a very different and new challenge I decided to face – yet one of the best decisions ever made. It is rare to come across a company that motivates, encourages and supports their employees to develop themselves into their best versions, such as BCS. I still feel honoured and humbled for having the faith of BCS Germany placed in my hands.

BCS are unique in the services they provide. The hard work and expertise is shown through the growth and reputation the company has built, along with the opportunities available and the work-life balance / company ethos. It was an exciting opportunity to join a growing company as an apprentice into such an interesting industry, that I knew little about, and had evidence of expansion even during lockdown and where the opportunities were very inspiring. The company was so welcoming and have since exceeded expectations. The business has been so accommodating to my learning and development as an apprentice and I have felt supported since the start by everyone. The flexible and trusting nature is very motivating and the work is hugely rewarding.

I chose to join BCS because of the opportunity for me to add value to a business that has deep specialist expertise, great people, high levels of trust and an entrepreneurial spirit. I have not been disappointed in what I have discovered since I arrived. The business has a people centric agenda that goes beyond the stale corporate virtue signalling and a client focus that results in a substantial amount of repeat appointments with high quality businesses throughout the UK and Europe.

I decided to join BCS following a long stint at a large professional services company, feeling as though I needed a change and a move away from larger organisations. With my first introduction to the company, I could tell that BCS were different. From the informal and friendly nature of the interview that was more about me than my qualifications, to the relationships I started to develop and could see around me, I knew that BCS really care about the wellbeing and development of each and every member of the team. Since joining I have been given the chance to really grow within my role and undertake responsibility far greater than before. The company is in an exciting period of growth and I’m really glad to be a part of it. I like to feel as though I have the ability to make positive change both personally and business related, and at BCS I have already been given many opportunities to do so.

The fundamental reasons why I joined BCS was for its people and ability to attract and hire knowledgeable and welcoming individuals. This in conjunction with BCS’ culture for supporting and nourishing its younger members of staff is what makes the company unique from its competitors. BCS has provided me with the opportunity to travel (overseas/domestically), interact with clients, and immerse myself in the data centre industry from the start of my employment, which is often not the case in other firms. Undoubtably, the data centre industry can be challenging and demanding at times, but I always find myself at the end of the day feeling that my hard work and efforts have been seen and acknowledged by senior members of the team. I have therefore personally found working at BCS to be extremely rewarding, with my voice and opinion being valued and never judged. There is truly no silly question that you could ask at BCS!

When I go back to joining BCS in September 2019 from the day I first walked in the office, the individuals within BCS have made my experience as enjoyable as possible. I put this down to a mixture of building relationships through friendly conversation as well as everybody being available and willing to support with any work-related queries at all times. In addition to this, the opportunities that have been provided to me to develop and learn as an individual are something that I am extremely grateful for. BCS have entirely supported me through my learning at university as well as in continued professional development training which has made me feel confident to perform competently within my role.
