  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role involves a lot of software testing so on a day to day basis I create and run a variation of tests depending on what the requirements are.

    7/10

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have developed a lot of work related skills such as testing and cybersecurity knowledge, but also social skills such as speaking in a group setting and sharing my thoughts with others, which is a big thing as I am so shy!

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I do enjoy the programme though I do find it very stressful, there’s a lot of work to be done through the week and uni work in the evenings/weekends which leaves little time for much else, it can take over sometimes.

    5/10

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • In my opinion it is fairly well structured though there could be improvements in the university-work relations as there are many things I feel like the uni should be telling my employers that I often have to find out for myself and inform my employers.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • The support from my employer is very fair with uni related situations such as study leave etc, could probably do with a little bit more support within work as I always have lots of questions but the support is there - it can just feel a little bit tedious having to often bother the same person over and over, I think it’d be good to have lots more resources around the workplace so that I’d feel like less of a nuisance?

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • I receive support with things such as study leave (I am slowed up to 5 days per set of examination though I must match this with my own holiday allowance) but there is no help with the work.

    4/10

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • My qualification helps me to understand the basics and background knowledge of many applications at work - work provides me with a hands on experience of all the things I’m studying in a real workplace

    8/10

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There are not many social events, but lots of extra sports activities such as running and yoga.

    6/10

  • 9a. Would you recommend Schneider Electric to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Schneider electric provides a fair and safe space to work with many benefits


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Schneider Electric?
  • The advice I would give would be to ask questions if there is anything you are unsure of! In the interview, whilst doing the job, whenever - it’s so important you know everything you need!
