Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Honda Motor Europe has got a great atmosphere and culture for undergrads to feel as important as any other associates. Respect for individual is the key pillar the culture is based on, and everyone is helpful and social, and are willing to learn more. Can be a bit too much hierarchy sometimes can be holding back the speed of progress, but this is somewhat expected of a big corp, in my opinion.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Honda is a great first place to grow as a student as everyone is given decent authority and responsibility to work on meaningful projects that leaves an impact, at the same time with good support and fallback for failures. People are amazing, all the undergraduates, contractors, permanent associates work together and involve in various opportunities of meetings, socials, and events.
