    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Enjoyed learning about how the company operated and how staff interacted with one another. Could have done with more things to see while waiting for the meeting to start.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was welcomed by my intern and introduced to his friends within the company and felt at ease. I didn't really do any significant work to be valued by my collegues.

    3/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I met a few senior staff members, who all welcolmed me warmly and explained their role within the department. Most of my support and guidance came from my intern that i was shadowing. His guidance was fab and supported me throughout the day.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • After the initial introductions and presentations there wasnt much to do. I was only there from 10am till 4pm and we struggled for things to do before the intern meeting started.

    2/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given the oppurtunity to look at some data and come up with a hypohesis based on it. I then used this data to prove/disprove the theory. But again this was helped and guided by my intern.

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • It gave me valuable experience on working in an industry sector. I learnt how to interact with collegues, what would be expected of me if i became and intern and employee, and also what type of computer programs i would be dealing with.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • There was general fun chit chat but as it was an office environment it was a little quiet even though it was 'casual friday'. We had to talk quite quietly.

    3/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was overall a well worked out placement if the meeting would have been on time. As a result of it not being, there was some uncertainty about what to do.

    3/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I saw the level of responsibility the intern got and how he was supported through the placement. I would like to think this would help to develop my skills and train me to be a better worker in the oil and gas industry.

    4/5

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

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Would love to get the chance to get a full time job within the company but maybe as an outdoor research job rather than office job.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs/colleagues?
  • I was the only placement Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµ there on the day.

    3/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I only stayed for one day so couldnt comment on this. But after listening to collegues its sounds slightly on the expensive side.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • I didnt experience any of the nightlife.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Again was only there for the day, so cant comment on this.

    3/5
