    The Company

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

    • Working within a Japanese organisation meant that the general atmosphere and way of working, was different to my previous working experiences. There is a constant mentality of improvement and efficiency which has meant that in general the atmosphere is very work focussed.

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

    • The placement programme here at Sony has been organised very well with specific days assigned in order to gain a real understanding of the different aspects of the business group. In terms of the actual role, it has been very similar to a permenant role and therefore is structured as if I were a new employee starting.
