    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • The day was anjoyabler and informative. The only negative aspect was that there was a large focus on upstream and exploration work performed by BP, but very little on the downstream and chemicals sectors. As the majority of people attending that day were chemical engineers, we were all expecting a focus on the latter two sectors, as they are the sectors we are all interested in.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Although only a part of the day involved interaction with the other Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs, we got on well. The icebreaker exercises were light hearted and a good introduction, and the Energy Challenge game also provided an enjoyable team work exercise.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The day was very well co-ordinated. Everything was well explained and plenty of time was allocated for each activity.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • The day was filled but sufficient time for breaks was given.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • No responsibility was given, but neither was any expected. The purpose of the day was primarily information.

    1/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Some of the topics covered were useful just for my general knowledge of the oil and gas industry, but not as relevant as they could have been. More downstream and chemical sector speakers would have been an improvement.

    2/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere was light hearted but suitably serious when necessary.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I could not find fault with the organisation of the day.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Plenty of time was allocated for meeting and talking with speakers and representatives.

    5/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Subsidised Canteen

    National Travel

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I would like to work for BP, but the highly competitive nature of the jobs mean I cannot claim to have great prospects.

    3/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs/colleagues?
  • Everyone at the event was pleasant and a good time seemed to be had by all.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Not really applicable. Travel and food was paid for.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Not applicable.

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Not applicable.
