    The Role

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

    • It was a very informative Discovery Day. I particularly enjoyed the 3D mapping.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • It was very nice of some of the BP employees to come for lunch. It allowed some informal questions and more understanding of how their lives have actually been as BP employees. The people organizing the event were as friendly as they could possibly be. The 西瓜视频s visiting were all very pleasant too. We went for drinks at the train station on the way back.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I'm not sure how relevant this is to a one day information session. As we had no responsibilities, management wasn't really necessary. The organizers were very informative about what we'd be doing that day, but that is as close as I can come to answering this question.

    2/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • The day was full. I don't remember any of the talks dragging on too long or spending any time waiting for anything to happen. The event was also scheduled at times to make the commute fairly reasonable.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • It was a one day information session. Beyond getting there and back, I had no responsibilities apart from listening and learning.

    1/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I think it was a very good information session. Although I have a background in Petroleum Engineering, it was informative about life as an employee of BP, focusing on UK employees. As an American who is studying in Britain, I gained a much better idea of what it would mean to stay here for employment.

    2/5

    The Company

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

    • It was a very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It was a business casual event. All of the people with BP went out of their way to answer all our questions in full. Several even gave us email addresses if we had questions later.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The whole day was well structured and organized. Everything seemed to go off fairly well.

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

    • It was a one day event. There wasn't a lot of time for licensing or training. It was nice of BP to pay for a trip to Aberdeen to let me learn about their company and life in the North Sea.

    3/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • BP seemed to be a very good company to work for, with global options and interest in developing and keeping employees.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • We went for drinks after the event, while we were waiting on our trains.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • We only went to one pub (Siberia) and it was very reasonable.

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

    • I was in Aberdeen from 9 AM to 5 PM. Nightlife never really entered into the equation.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • It was only a one day.

    3/5
