Anyone work for Fujitsu IT Services?

Depends where you're talking about. Generally comparing myself with my peers at my current place of work £40k would be low. I'm earning about the same as most of the team and I'm on just over £64k. I would consider anything about £80k to be high.

wtf!? where do you work, up the Queens arse!?
 
Thought so, but living down there is really expensive so in the end would you say would get paid around 30k for the same job in the North?
 
I've always thought of trying to find work in the London but the city itself is stopping me. Not keen on southerners turning their noses up at me because of my northern accent.
 
I would think anything over 40k in the north and 60k in the south is a decent salary, a good salary would be 6 figures plus (the Mrs keeps getting offered jobs like this in London but doesnt want to move or commute despite me ordering her to - i fancy playing golf all day while she supports me! :D)
 
the people they employed for first line that I used to speak to everyday were (bless them) not the most computer literate

mikey you best be careful what you write about on a public forum if you intend to keep your DV status!
 
The company crapped on me for years, I gave 9 years service to fujitsu and put a lot of work in to Sence and Respond (before they changed it) producing KPI stats for agents moving into a technical RIM role only to be shafted by them in the end.

I'm glad I no longer work for them, I got 3 pay rises in 9 years (500 quid big wow)

Money was absolutly terrible in the first place and most of your work will go unnoticed.

I left Fujitsu after nearly 10 years there, only a few months ago.
Lots of politics that will eventually kill off your desire to work there, good company with good benefits, if you get a good manager.
The pay will be the real hitter, if you can get a decent salary, go for it, chances are they will expect you to take a pay cut to work for them!
 
When I first moved here, I worked for them (HSBC support) as a stop gap until I could find something better and it was pretty horrible.

I had just come from a nice job back home where I did contract work for IBM and Unisys so was pretty overqualified to do phone support but they still took every opportunity to treat me like an unskilled drone.

I did head office support, but after a month I was 'promoted' to also cover Blackberry support as well. Shortly after that, I was 'promoted' again to include branch support on top.
When I say promoted, I mean I was given more work with the same pay and zero training. A blackberry is simple to figure out but it's a lot more difficult to troubleshoot a branch system when you've never seen one, nevermind used one.

I quit after 3 months and even though I was on good standing and had given proper notice, I was still given an escort out the door at the end of the day.
 
Depends who you are going to work for, if you are going to a direct competitor, they don't want you potentially taking anything with you that may benefit the competitor, for those reasons you are escorted off the property and put on gardening leave until your notice period is up :) sweet!
 
Well I had the interview, role sounds interesting. However the interview wasn't as I expected. I'm not expecting to get the role. Other things to consider are:

I do 8 mile commute at the mo and it'll be 45m+
Money will be no more, poss less
The technology scope indicates to be much greater.
