Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
In the beginning the program was scattered all over the place, the way it was presented was, you crave out the path you want, difficult to start when you don't know the company well but now with the help of my manager and everyone else, my path is made.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
A lot, especially from manager, everyone in the team is there to help you develop so that eventually you can become full fledge TC when program ends. I receive further support during emergency in my personal life, e.g. allowing to work from home or taking time off from work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Pretty generic, only a handful of courses relate to my role, sometimes feels like a chore to complete.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
I've learned a handful of things through my qualification but nothing major for my role, most of my learning comes from hands on experience.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are extra-curricular activities to get evolved with, but are optional, I choose not to participate as I prefer to use the time to work on other skills that will benefit me, both at work and personal life.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Hewlett Packard Enterprise to a friend?
Yes
Why?
The freedom and support you get from the team is great, the extra support depending on your circumstance makes it even better to work even after the degree program. There are lots of path to take and even if you need further develop in an area you can request it.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Hewlett Packard Enterprise?
Don't just apply for the name of the company, learn what the company does and what services/products you want to get involved, having a plan will help you and your manager figure out what path you want to take. The team wants to see you grow so don't be afraid to ask for help, it doesn't make you weak.
