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

    • I was very occupied, during my time at HP we were short staffed so I was constantly taking on work. However, this meant I learnt very quickly. At times it was stressful but this is to be expected.

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

    • Very appealing. They are also implementing a graduate scheme, which prioritizes those who have previously done internships at the company.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes, there are a lot of interns across the company (20+), so there is always something to do. We also socialise with Hewlett Packard Enterprise interns so there are over 70 of us in total.
