    4/5

    • Very good but at times certain things like the intern recruitment process can get slightly delayed so don't worry if you haven't heard anything a while after the deadline.

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Being an intern with HP you are more likely to get a graduate position, grads have been brought in this year. Most interns this year have had their contacts extended and some have been offered part time jobs in their last year of university.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Yes lots of HP and self funded nights out with staff organised. Interns have coffee breaks, lunch and organise nights out outside of work. We also play sports together including table tennis.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Depends on the area, Bristol has both more expensive and cheaper areas, the areas closer to work are cheaper. Bristol is an amazing city full of shops, cafes, bars and clubs. There are also beautiful areas such as Clifton Zoo and the Suspension Bridge. There are many green spaces and activities such as ice skating, go karting, etc.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife is awesome. Many clubs, bars and pubs with music to sort any taste.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • An intern committee organising loads of social and charity events.
