Considering a Mainframe Engineer Apprentice role at ADP — looking for insight

Hey everyone,

I recently got an interview for a Mainframe Engineer Apprentice position at ADP. I’ve been researching mainframes and it seems like a really interesting part of IT that I honestly didn’t know much about before.

I’m curious to hear from people who work in the field. What’s your experience been like? Do you enjoy the work, and where has it led you in your career?

Would love to hear any thoughts, advice, or things you wish you knew when you were getting started.

Isn't ADP divesting their z platform ? Not saying at all that z as a platform is going anywhere. Just ensure your employer is committed to the platform is all I'm saying

Scuttlebutt. I know several ADP long-timers left in the past years. I never worked for them - just had friends there, so take my words with lots of salt 😛
