    5/5

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

    • I have been given a real job which can really affect day to day running of the business, so the pressure is there, but you are trusted to do your job!

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

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Facilities and site are fantastic!

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

    • Fujitsu implemented a startergy which allowed the IP's which were leaving to extend contracts and train/develop new IP's which have made the transition seamless, however processes can change in such a big organisation, so you have to take initiative of your role and make it yours!

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

    • In the 2 months I have been here I have already been on several training/development courses which will help me in this role and also on personal development, if you feel you need training for anything e.g. MS Word/Excel, you just have to get authorisation from your line manager.

    5/5

    • Lived at home and drove in, so not sure.

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

    • Bracknell isn't great - Reading is the closest and is a good night out! Windsor is also good but slighty further out.
