Ages... weird thing is, apparently the lease on the building doesn't run out till september next year so I can't see them rushing to move to Wakey... but they've said 3/4 weeks.

oh and hands off my chair:p



2nd line technician, supporting RBS and Tesco.

Cool.

Just got concerns that I have that DII is on the Government cuts list and this would then leave the Atlas consortium in limbo

DII isn't going anywhere - we're still rolling it out and there are many places waiting to get it installed and up and running!

(Anyone need a DV cleared worker?!)
 
I used to work for Fujitsu many years ago when ICL got taken over. I now work for Computacenter and have been for the past 3.5 years.

I doubt CC is any better or worse than Fujitsu, however I know for a fact that we have taken over a number of Fujitsu customers in the past 12 months, one in the banking sector that most will have heard of.

CC isnt' great, there is a lot wrong internally, but there are a lot of good people and some days it's almost good to work for them.

Pay wise, it's OK, although I have a 500 mile a week commute which costs me cost to £300 a month. We're trying to decide now if to move closer to the office, or stay where we are and I find something else. Fujistu are based in Bracknell right? ;)
 
Similar commute to me potentially. I would be based at HP in Hook. Currently do 80 miles a week

Will prob have a chat with my team leader at serco this week.

Did you start on support?

Yeah. I was 1st/2nd line in 98, desk-based hardware engineer (Compaq, Dell, etc) with Kefkef who has nosed into this thread in 99.

In early 2000 I moved office location to Manchester for 2 years to train as a 3rd line engineer, from there moved around various estates and solutions (Windows NT4/2k/2k3 domain support), Software Delivery, Patching, Exchange, proxy support. Became a team leader, became a TM, then moved into an OSM role which gave me responsibility for the BAU work for the Wintel side of my whole estate. I just don't deal with projects unless it's an escalation.

They're all my current roles :D
 
Worked for them for a while as a 1st line
after a quit my role as an engineer for NCR bad move but hey ho
i found working for fujitsu a very bad experince to be honest and would not ever advise any one to join them
 
Out of interest have you worked as a 1st line agent anywhere else for a multinational?

Can't imagine it's great for anyone.
 
No it was my first time just did not wanna sit at home doing jack and playing CoD all day!!

I come from a background of On site support really

so maybe going down a few grades was why i found it so bad

but asking some-one if i can go to the toliet or have my lunch now is pretty bad for any one if you ask me
 
That's what I'm saying. The environment will be the same wherever you go, that's not a negative against Fujitsu. That's just helpdesks.
 
Hahaha, nowhere matey. It's appalling.

Rishworth St. is supposed to be OK.

I have a spot in the building car park.
 
worked for Fujitsu for over 2 years, nights on BMI Airlines contract, monitoring server backups, clearing mail and overseas support, was great although I left knowing less about IT than when I started due to the general mundanity of the role I was in. Money was ok and tbh I would still be there but a change of circumstances meant I could no longer work nights (didnt fancy being a drone doing daytime support).

A m8 of mine is still there and has progressed fairly well going from helpdesk to manager in a couple of years and now has progressed to a more technical 3rd line role (if I remember correctly).

good luck with whatever you decide :)
