    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • BP Discovery Day - Highly informative and great for the CV/a springboard to further BP events.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • It was apparent BP were trying to 'sell' the company to us. This made me feel valued as they obviously wanted us to join their team.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • There was plenty of individuals there from graduates to directors at BP to ask questions of

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

    • Obviously in one day I did not directly learn large masses of information. Yet the general skills and seeing engineering applied in the real world is always beneficial

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well you are kept busy all day without feeling exhausted and there is still enough time to get to know everyone. One lab tour was cut short because of time which was a bit disappointing

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Everyone was highly positive there appeared a good working environment. Although I take this with a small pinch of salt because obviously they are trying to sell the company to you!

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

    • Hard to answer because it was just an insight but some of the interns said they spent 10% of their time in training.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • Lots of individuals to talk to. A lot of 'day in the life' explanations. Number of career stories given I feel I have a good idea of working life at BP

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Helped greatly. The general office atmosphere was evident from the graduates that spoke to us. Everybody seemed to enjoy their job and work hard yet there was still room for fun. Great work/life balance.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Highly I attended thinking BP would be one of many employers I might apply to now I feel they are my number 1 choice

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • Just applied for my expenses so as of yet I have not been reimbursed. However, I flew from Edinburgh to London and BP is covering these costs and there was individuals there from Austria. BP seem to have a good budget to cover expenses

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • As previously mentioned lots of chances to talk to current employees

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Yes my table had a very social atmosphere the people were lovely and I left with the phone numbers of all my colleagues

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Yes all the graduates mentioned out of work activities from skiing to drinking

    5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Definitely, I don't understand why you wouldn't attend. It's free and such a good opportunity

    5/5
