The Role
My team and the intern community are the key reasons I accepted my job at HP
I worked closely with my team, but other interns had teams which were based in other countries or other offices.
One quiet days you are given the opportunity to pick up work you have an interest in, or collect research for your dissertation.
You are encouraged to get involved as much as possible.
The Company
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare/Dental
HP try and retain as many interns as grads as possible
The Culture
Decent price considering we're close to London
More bars then clubs, but still very good.
