    The Role

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

    • Throughly enjoyed the challenge and structure of the scheme and role.

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

    • You can't get on with everyone - fact of life. But a vast majority at Fujitsu are extremely supportive and great people to work with.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The support structures in place were extremly useful and I always felt I had someone I could turn to.

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

    • On occasion I would have to work very long days/weeks but these were equally balanced with shorter and more relaxed days - ultimately the perfect mix to keep you optimised.

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

    • Even as a placement student I had the same expectations as my fellow team memebers, which was daunting at first but having the same responsibilities really makes you feel a valued part of the business - which you are.

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

    • This year has been invaluble both in helping me understand how what I am learning at university can be applied to the 'real world' and the skills I have/need to suceed after graduation.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Office life is never going to be a party but everyone has a fantastic sense of humour and even Monday mornings there would be laughing and joking.

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

    • The structure of Fujitsu's Industrial Placement year complemented our individual roles and worked extremly well in continually develping us as students.

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

    • Personally, I felt I was given fantastic oportunites for personal growth but not only becuase I was an IP but because development opportunities are available to all in Fujitsu.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • The graduate and future leaders scheme within Fujitsu are extremely attractive and it is clear that graduates and IP's can and have succeeded within the organisation.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • My cohort of approximately 20 bonded very well and went on regular social events both exclusively Fujitsu and also events that mixed with other local placement students.

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

    • Affordable but don't expect to save much on a placement salary.

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

    • Existent, not exceptional.

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

    • A good amount of charity events and sport clubs were available to sign up to should you wish.
