    • I never expected the atmosphere to be this relaxed, it makes me feel completely at ease.

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

    • Due to the large number of students employed by Xerox every year, everything is well organised and apart from some processes that are a bit slow sometimes, I can't complain.

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

    • There is a great learning scheme at Xerox for all employees, called Learning@Xerox, where there are many online courses available on a wide range of topics.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • There is a scheme for graduate jobs specifically for previous placement students, but this also depends on the current financial climate.

    The Culture

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

    • There is a great student community at Xerox, student nights out are organised almost every week.

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

    • It's about the same as average cost of living and socialising in London, maybe a bit cheaper.

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

    • There are a few good places in the area, but since it's not far to go to central London, this is never a problem.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There is a students' charity team that always has things going on.
