    4/10
  • 4. How valued do you feel by Fujitsu?

    4/10
  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

    • It's good Apprentice money but as I'm not really feeling part of the apprentice program I'm just a low paid member of staff.

    3/10
  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

    • They are few and far between.

    3/10
  • 9. Would you recommend Fujitsu to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • Because it's a very good company, the wider Fujitsu is clearly great to work for and is where I want to be in the future.

  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Fujitsu?

    • Don't expect too much too soon.
