The Role
I had a fantastic experience with HPE and I look forward to reapplying.
There is a great working atmosphere at HPE, everyone is approachable
Both of my managers supported any interests I had outside of my day to day role.
I was busy in many aspects of my role
I was shocked at the level of trust and responsibility HPE gave me during my internship
Many of my skills learned this year will certainly be transferable to my final year at Uni.
The Company
There was a good balance of atmosphere within HPE
Very well organised. The placement has been running for years and it is obvious because everything is well drilled
They supported me in any future interests I had
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Staff Sales/Staff Shop
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
The company is continually growing and the business is getting younger and I believe there is fantastic prospects for a Graduate.
The Culture
There was a large intern community of roughly 80 interns and frequent social events were organised.
Average pricing
Good nightlife
Plenty of opportunities
