The Role
It was great fun! I met lots of new friends who were fellow interns, so I really enjoyed the social side.
They were friendly, but possibly could have tried a little harder. I understand they are busy people though!
He was such a fantastic manager, I really enjoyed working alongside him. I attended partner meetings with him which was fantastic.
Pretty good balance I would say overall, although some days I felt like I could have been working a little harder.
I was given quite a lot actually, more than I had anticipated!
yeah, such a good experience, definately worthwhile! I hope it will really help me secure a good job
The Company
People were hard working, although friendly when taking little coffee breaks. Overall though I would day people worked pretty hard. It wasn't a party office!!
Pretty good organisation by BP I would say. I think they tried hard to settle us in, I felt like the induction was really well organised and thought through.
I was able to put myself forward for extra training and things. I attended a few IT based courses which will help me in the future, so very good on this!

I am applying to a few places, but will include BP in my applications aswell. I am applying else where just to get an idea of what I am capable of achieving.
The Culture
Fellow interns were such great fun! Really enjoyed working with all of them! We're staying in touch as well :)
So cheap to compared with where I come from!! Amazing!!
Had such a great time, although struggled with early mornings at work after a night out with other interns!
No especially, however, I was tired by the evening so not too fussed about it!
