The Role
It was fun because of the other interns i worked with. I enjoyed the tasks and the work environment.
My team is friendly and i got on really well with my mentor.
I had a weekly meeting with my mentor where we talked about the tasks for the week. i was able to go to him for help at anytime.
Depend on what the team is working on. At times we were busy and sometimes we didn't have much to do. It was a good time to work on my own projects.
I was given some important tasks. i felt part of the team.
I have learned so much during my placement and can't believe how far I've come. i had the opportunity to work on my weaknesses and feel like it will help me in the future.
The Company
Atmosphere in our office casual , friendly and relaxed.
It took a while for me to get a reply and i started the internship late.
They always have time for the interns including the high management.
Flexi Time

Since HP is a big company there's a chance to get into different fields.
The Culture
Yes, we had a lot of social events and spend a lot of time together outside work.
Bristol is a nice town and not too expensive there's a lot to do and see.
There a lot of good clubs , restaurants and bars in town.
The interns have a social sports club where we go play badminton or squash. we get a free gym membership.
