The Hewlett-Packard Internship Program

The Hewlett-Packard Internship ProgramThe Hewlett-Packard Internship ProgramHewlett-Packard (HP), headquartered in Palo Alto, California, is a success story that literally started in when Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett worked out of Packards garage with an initial capital investment of $538 back in 1939. The name, Hewlett-Packard, was decided on by the flip of a coin and Packard-Hewlett lost. For over 50 years, 1940s1990, the companys primary focus was on electronic products prior to moving to the semiconductor geschftlicher umgang later on. Hewlett-Packard is recognized as the founder of Silicon Valley and is also recognized by Wired Magazine as the producer of the worlds first commercial personal computer, the HP 9100A, developed in 1968. One decision the company made that was a mistake was to leid market a computer designed by one of the employees, Steve Wozniak. This computer went on to be the Apple 1, and along with his close friend, Steve Jobs, they both went on to become the fo unders of Apple Computer, which I am writing this article on today. The 2000s were a decade of acquisitions for Hewlett-Packard. In 2001 H-P acquired Compaq Computers, who had previously purchased Tandem Computers in 1997 and taken over Digital Equipment Corporation in 1998. On May 13, 2008, HP signed an agreement to purchase EDS and then in 2009 they acquired 3Com for $2.7 billion and then Palm, Inc. for $1.2 billion in cash. Palm with actually the predecessor to all of todays Smartphones and Tablet Computers. Internships Summer Internship assignments at Hewlett-Packard last 10-12 weeks.
