I would say that HP is a good place to kickstart a career, but be prepared to move elseware as it can be unstable. I know a number of people who did not make it to 10 years for a broad range of reasons. Starting a career here can provide valuable expertise in many areas of software development.

That could mean resolving incidents, writing code on reporting/monitoring of the systems, continuing to build out the infrastructure, etc. I was capable of solving ...

HP will completely trust you to do your own work. In fact, when I worked there they trusted me to do my work remotely. My manager was in California and I was in Dallas and we communicated and had update meetings over the phone. They put a lot of trust in the interns to be responsible. You will be...
