The Role
It was a really good chance to find out about the industry and the amount that I learnt was unbelievable in only 11 weeks
Everyone was really friendly and willing to help you or take the time out to talk to me about what they do, including senior management
Lots of help if you seeked it, very much up to you to make the most of it and be proactive but this helps you to get to know more people working on different areas
Given a good deal of work, have to prioritize the tasks given, again at times it really pays to be proactive when there is less work, reading around the project or the industry in general
Given access to a lot of information and worked on tasks to help the project run more smoothly. My work will provide valuable information to the project and will be used throughout bp in the methodology behind my investigation
May not contribute directly as I'm studying a different area but the communication and overview skills will be useful through the rest of my degree and beyond
The Company
Strong work ethic in the office but its very much up to you to do the work. Every one is very friendly and can get to know them over coffee or lunch
Very well organised and there was always someone to talk to if you had any questions
Allowed days off to visit other offices and learn what they do. Help was available when I was learning a new program. Plenty of opportunities available to improve presentation skills and learn about other discipline topics
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Sports and Social Club
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Healthcare/Dental
If you perform well during the internship then they should be able to offer you a graduate job for after you finish university
The Culture
A full mix of people, some more social than others, but if you wanted a night out or just some drinks after work then this could easily be done
The pub across from work was relatively cheap but again nights out would be in London so prices could get fairly high. Highly recommend trying to live with friends or family if you can otherwise the accommodation could be very expensive
Not much around work but its easy to go to various locations around London
Lots of other activities with other interns in work and depending on the friends you make with the other interns you can do lots of different things
