  • I thoroughly enjoyed my 13 months at HP.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • A 1-2-1 with my manager bi-weekly. My manager was always in the office to approach if I needed to.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Very very busy. I was stressed and felt like I had so much on my plate. But it has really paid off and being busy made the time fly by!

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I had a lot of responsibility, I was given tasks and left to run with them. At the beginning most of the stuff I did was reviewed before I was confident enough to do things myself.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Learnt to work with a range of different people, their working styles, ages, seniority.
