Yes definitely, especially when going through the process of hiring the next undergraduate I was allowed to plan and lead the interview, I also thought my opinions and views were taken into account and respected.

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Honda Motor Europe
If you're looking for a place to gain new skills amongst some really friendly and helpful people I would definitely go for it however if you are looking for somewhere where you can quickly progress up the ladder in your career I would say this might not be the best place for you. There are not a huge amount of opportunities for progression.
