    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • There were some aspects which I really enjoyed and some which I didn't

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt very valued within my team, but not so much outside of it

    3/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I had a good network of support from Line Managers and above, I worked for an allocated set of account managers so felt I could go to them for help as well. No problem here

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There's never nothing to do, you won't get bored. However the tasks do get repetitive.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Responsibility if a fair amount, you are doing real work which is seen by Fujitsu's biggest customers, however there is not much chance to increase your level of responsibility because there isn't much opportunity to move around the company.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I think anyone who does a placement won't regret it

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • There was a lot of staff banter! General atmosphere is as long as you are getting the work done then they want you to have fun.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Fujitsu have a rolling structure, so you will be trained by another student and when your year is up, they will train you. There was a lot of involvement from the HR department and they will have a big part to play during your year at Fujitsu, they would often organise "get together" days etc.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    3/5

    Sports and Social Club

    • 5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • There are a lot of locations available within the Fujitsu Placement Scheme, being based in Reading there were a lot of students around

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Rent and bills didn't take as much as 50% from my wages

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Reading is a town not a city but there are some good nights out to be had, just like anywhere really. There is a student atmosphere and a uni as well so you can do it on the cheap if its the end of the month :)

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not so much, but the students organised themselves, e.g. football, zumba etc
