    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I had a slow start in my role, then i was able to get support from various areas of the business. So i could progress into a role that suited me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at HPE, great opportunities outside of your role too.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Great colleagues. Didnt feel like an intern at all. I was given huge amounts of responsibility i didnt expect to be given. Really felt part of the team

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Great support, looked at my progression path i had written out at the beginning and worked with me.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • This is up to you, you can be crazy busy and do 12 hours days or stagger your jobs over a longer period of time. Its entirely up to you.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Huge amounts

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Great interpersonal skills gained. Huge corporate exposure.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Started off dull, then as i settled into my role i became more comfortable with my colleagues.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • My department organised most of my internship. I rarely needed to be in contact with the main HR team. This was good, because any issues i had were solved quite quickly without having be put in the end of the queue with HR.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • My second role at HPE invested more time in me, i think this was because they were a much smaller team and had enough work to give me responsibility for, so i could show them what i could do; and what i couldn't.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Very, there are lots of opportunities at such a large company. Dont think if you get an internship in a department you have to stay in that department. I moved roles after 6months, this was fine. (It isnt the norm though)

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • There are around 50 interns in Bracknell at HPE. There is an intern committee where you can get involved in all sorts of events, socially and charitable.

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

    • Reading was the main area where interns/graduates lived. Its relatively priced considering it is classed as a commutable area for london work.

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

    • Reading is town with numerous branded clubs and bars. If you want a bigger night out, head to London.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Loads, YEN (Your Employee Network) is a committee for a mixture of interns, grads and full timers to get involved with more senior level employees events.
