The Role
I would recommend it.
I felt valued and part of the team.
Management and senior engineers were always willing to lend a hand when necessary. They understood we were there to learn.
I always had something to do but there wasn't but i wasn't put under overwhelming pressure to get it done.
I was allowed to work independently on certain bugs, and part of a team on projects.
A lot, some of the things i learnt weren't covered in university but are invaluable.
The Company
There was a great atmosphere in the office, all the existing employees treat you as an equal.
I didn't experience any organisation problems.
With HP university there is a range of courses you can take, and you are encouraged to do so.

When this years group of interns arrived at HP they had offered jobs to a few of the previous years interns once they finished university.
The Culture
Interns and colleagues mix well inside and outside of work hours.
The pay is more than enough to cover the cost of living and socialising.
Very good!
Yes.
