Corporate Technology Developer Review

My job title is corporate technology developer. I record support queries in a log and also program websites and maintain them. I am a lead programmer on a internal portal and on a daily basis I am doing documentation and programming.

I have developed my HTML and CSS skills and learnt a whole lot more. I am learning jQuery and JavaScript as well as .NET. I am also learning how to manage documentation and scripting in SQL.

I have really enjoyed the program. I have learnt and developed skills for the work place and for life that I wouldn't have learnt otherwise

It's hard to feel valued in a company so big, so in some places you do feel left out but that is inevitable in a company so big. Within my team and those who my work affects I do feel really valued.

On Nomura's behalf it is very organised on the training providers side- it is hugely disorganised. There are many times when Nomura has had to contact the training company as they are not doing what they need to. I don't think they are organised or structured. But as this review is in terms of the employer- Nomura is hugely organised. If it was the training provider I would have given them a 2.

Very little support, very many times emails are not replied to for many different apprentices, results are not updated and exams are not organised.

I receive a great amount of support- weekly meetings with my manager. I have a mentor and a buddy whilst keeping in contact with the HR team having regular catch-up.

My salary meets my costs very well because of my lifestyle- I live with parents and I don't have many financial commitments.

Yes there are, I did a lot of volunteering and some paid opportunities especially in the London Bridge area.

Yes

Because its a great opportunity to grow in a growing company.

Just be yourself! Its a very different sort of work place; loads of different characters and people are very accepting.
