    The Role

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

    • HP has a very large intern base. There are always people to socialize with, loads of charity events, and lots of people to ask questions to make your work easier.

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

    • Given a lot of responsibility

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

    • Have to be very resourceful and find things out myself - HP is a very large organization, but there is always someone on hand to help. There is a 'handover' month between old interns and new interns where the old interns teach you everything you need to know. During this time you set goal with your manager and also you are allocated a 'buddy' elsewhere in the organization.
