Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Honda Motor Europe to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Honda Motor Europe
The interview process is more simple than for other placements I applied to. I would recommend to take lots of time to go over the task produced in the assessment centre to ensure you haven't made mistakes due to the pressure of the process. I would love to have known how friendly the people are as I think it would have reduced my nerves slightly when joining.
