The Role
My time at HP has arguably been one of the best years of my life. I would consider it to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. The years has allowed me to work on various projects in the many areas of marketing giving me ownership over my own projects and truly making me feel like a valued team member.
I felt extremely valued by the various teams I worked in, this was shown through the amount of responsibility and ownership I was given throughout the 13+ months
HP has a very open door policy, every intern has managers and team members that are always happy to help and aid in anyway they can we are also provided with mentors outside of our team who offer great support
Extremely Busy! but when your having fun its easy to get on with!
I was given an insane amount of responsibility, I came am in to the internship expecting to have a year of shadowing and learning by watching etc but I jumped right in and as the year went on was able to take on my own work and projects so there responsibility is amazing!
This internship has truly prepared me for my degree, life and really ignited a love for the area I work within.
The Company
The office is bright and a really happy place to be, everyone always has a smile as cheesy as it sounds its true! there are also so many events that take place for employees throughout the year.
the internship program is extremely well structured and planned by the coordinators.
i have been provided with so many learning opportunities its clear that HP want to invest heavily in new interns and provide them with the best year of experience they can!
