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

    • HP is a great company to acheive exceptional experiences and gain development of your career. The use of goals is great to do this as you track your progress. But good opportunities are only supported if you are motivated to achieve them. They are not put on a plate.
