I enjoyed the insight very much- i found it exciting to be in the bp head office in london and found everyone welcoming. I felt it was a warm environment that gave me an actual insight into what working there would be like, especially speaking to real employees on grad schemes that could be me in 2 years.

I was only there one day and my day included being shown around so i didn't really get the opportunity to actually do anything for the company, however when the grad scheme employees were explaining their roles and life at the company they especially said it was different to other firms due to them being made feel valued.

During the insight i received a lot of support- we were asked to do a trading game on the trading floor whereby we were each given a computer and were allowed to do stocks and decide if we would buy or sell stocks. This was very well explained and there were employees around giving support if needed.

There was a very useful presentation on the interview process for BP internships- it was a step by step information presentation giving useful tips and tricks on how to succeed. this will help me beyond as it is a similar process to other internship application processes and also similar to graduate scheme application processes.

The day was well structured- we were met in the reception by a lady who took us to the room where we waited for just a few minutes until the presentation started that explained the day to us. We also had a break where lunch was provided with teas, coffees, and sandwiches. We then went to the trading floor to play a trading game.

Everyone was generally in a good mood during the insight day- There was positive and motivated atmosphere, questions were encouraged to be asked. Everyone seemed to be very into it and enjoying themselves, the game was very competitive with the results being displayed after on the board.

I was only there for one insight day so not much was invested in me, however after speaking to graduate employees it seems they invest in them a lot as they give them a lot of trust and responsibility early on in the scheme. They are also extremely good at training and take internal training very seriously.

To a large extent as they had employees from all areas of the firm explaining their roles and responsibilities- for example there was someone from auditing etc. They took you threw their day to day life at the firm and real life experiences, this made me understand what it would actually be like to work at BP.

From what the graduate employees said, I understood the culture of the company well- it seems to be a company that focuses on their employees and takes care of them. Different to investment banks, they are not forced to stay later or come in earlier and work unpaid overtime- not taken advantage of.

The content of the day was valuable as it made me realise i want to work in a company that actually takes their employees into consideration and doesn't take advantage of them- I never thought this was very important before this day as i was desperate to get anything however its made me realise there are companies that will make car elf you as an employee.
