The Role
The industrial placement scheme at Xerox is very well planned and structured. The support networks are great! The job is a REAL job! Everyone is very warm and welcoming; the people are great!
The Company
Xerox is a fun great place to work!
Xerox's industrial placement scheme is by far the best around! It is well structured and implemented within the business in all it's surrounding locations.
I was able to get involved in additional projects, tasks and business activities which Xerox funded. This actively contributed to my personal development.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Healthcare from home
I would definitely consider returning to Xerox. The work is great, the people are fantastic and they are a global leader in their industry.
The Culture
Being at Xerox was like being at University, but without the university commitments i.e exams/coursework etc. With over 80 placement students, Xerox is THE place to work!
Average prices - dependant on exact location and housing requirements
Nightlife was good, however, transport links are very easily accessible and thus getting into central london was quick and easy
Sports, various clubs etc.......loads to do!
