    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • - There was an investment game which was quite useful I thought - it incorporated macro/political news which would effect our investments e.g. action by the G20, a global carbon tax. - networking with and asking current graduates questions re their time at BP, the culture of the firm, and their career path e.g. experiences at past firms etc - practice interview skills session which was incredibly useful in terms of creating a realistic situation and some great feedback from recruitment and peers

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Most of the time.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • There was always someone there to answer any questions you had

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Greatly - developed softer skills I'd say e.g. interview skills, speaking and teamwork (investment challenge) mainly- I'd also mention gaining quite a bit of knowledge on the energy industry and BP as a company - quite useful in assisting with future internship application, to any company in any sector. We also received presentations on SJTs, pschyometric tests etc and the dos/do nots of online application - applicable to most companies.

    4/5

    The Company

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • 4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • Great extent - there were office tours and graduates/employees talked about the impact of company culture on daily work and what their jobs involved.

    4/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Hugely - graduates emphasised this in contrast to previous companies they'd worked at.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Somewhat helpful, it gave us an insight into for example how much energy prices, particularly oil, can impact BP as an organisation e.g. the time employees spend on international assignments etc - in terms of this, the insight was quite useful- learning how impactful energy prices can be.

    4/5
