The Role
I am either bored or too busy and not usually inbetweem
I have learned a lot
The Company
The first office I was in was dull, but the new office is better
There is a dedicated placement recruitment team
There is a lot of online training which is available to all employees, but not a lot was invested in me personally.
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Pay is quite good and staff are treated well.
The Culture
There are a lot of students at Xerox and we pretty much all stick together and organise events. We are also all living together which is good.
Rent is high but food is average. Nights out are expensive due to being close to London
Only one club in Uxbridge, but Leicester Square isn't far on the tube
