The Role
My position at Fujitsu was more than I could have ever imagined, it taught me a lot.
I had no problems, all colleagues were great towards me.
Managers were great towards me too and from previous students, knew how the scheme worked and did really well.
I wasn't very busy at the start of my placement but towards the end I had too much to do and it was sometimes hard to cope with all of it.
I was responsibility for part of the internal network for a while which was good fun.
I love to learn and the skills picked up here will benefit me for the rest of my life.
The Company
The fun never stopped, literally. The office is extremely lively (probably because most of it is filled with students & graduates!)
Very well - throughout I had no problems.
employees... they invested a lot in me.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
I'd love to go back and although their aren't many IT jobs within London, I'm sure they could fit me in.
The Culture
All students socialised together a lot: we went out to many places both within the city and on small day trips/holidays.
A tad expensive for me but it didn't worry me, it's all about the experience.
Not much around the area I worked but it didn't bother me - nearby was central London with plenty to do.
Tons. With students - holidays/day trips, with employees - parties/days out.
