    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I was expecting interesting engineering work but I found this very difficult to come across. Engineers in BP don't need scientific calculators, this gives an indication. I did gain a great insight into how BP manages enormous projects. That was pretty cool

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The only work I had that directly affect business was rather tedious - the jobs they didn't want. However, I found myself a niche doing other interesting work I managed to invent.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I had very good meetings and guidance with feedback regarding how BP go about managing large projects. I met a very good mentor.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Generally I was bored and I was struggling to motivate myself to get things done as nobody really needed it. I had time critical work early on, this was great but it ran out pretty quickly.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I had responsibility for one project. However the project came against a non-technical barrier and I couldn't progress it further.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Very valuable, but not in terms of engineering skills.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Atmosphere was oppressive, but tolerable. There is a poster that tells you how you may walk down the stairs. "always hold hand rail" etc. Says alot.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very good in terms of HR activities but no so good in terms of getting given good work to do.

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

    • Yes. I love BP for that. If you need a training course you can generally get what you need (as in day long activities etc).

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop
    5/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If you want a comfortable job and never have to think too hard, this is perfect.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?

    • Most interns shared accommodation in Aberdeen (there were interns elsewhere too.)

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I stayed with friends but you're looking at more than 拢100/wk to rent anywhere.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Some clubs are good. Can generally get a cheap drink in the city (if you look in the right place.)

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes, BP has a very active CSR program.
