The Role
I loved working for HP, The people make the job and have helped me to develop as a person.
Many of my Colleagues value my controbutions and take the time to say thank you.
Management Take the time to give me guidance on my work, however they are never on my back (A good thing!).
I am Never bored !
I was given Responsibility for Tasks but perhaps one or two more big projects would have Helped.
I feel skills learnt here are vital to me being succesful beyond my studies, and have given me a great grounding.
The Company
Always busy always people to talk to!
A month Training with my old intern really helped me into the roll, in having placement students in the past they knew what they were doing.
The company Spend a lot of Time in the first month brining you up to speed with one on one support.
