Responsibilities
Yes. Mercedes AMG HPP pride themselves in the responsibility that they give to placement students. I was in charge of multiple projects that had company-wide impacts. You will be exposed to a multitude of different stakeholders and will be expected to take full accountability for your work.
Support & Guidance
Mercedes have a dedicated student support structure. Although I never personally reached out for any support or guidance I always knew that I could. Beyond the dedicated student support, everyone I worked with was more than happy to help with any work-related issues. My immediate team were very supportive in times of high-stress or large workloads.
Culture
The company is very fast paced and dynamic, this can lead to a stressful atmosphere at times. However, the general atmosphere is positive, you feel part of a team all working towards one goal, to win. There is a large student population at Mercedes AMG HPP so there is a good student culture, with various social events hosted, it is really easy to settle in and feel comfortable.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my placement year at HPP. It provided me with new skills, invaluable knowledge and great connections that I can carry forward throughout my future career.
