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

    • The work that I was given had real impact on the company. It wasn't just work to keep me busy

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

    • From H.R to line managers, there is always someone to help you or speak with about issues

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

    • There was a good level of work set to keep you busy and on top of that you can carry out as much extra learning as you want.

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

    • As I mentioned, the work added real value to the team and this was reiterated throughout

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

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • I wasn't in the new BP office so it didn't have a great atmosphere but the people were still as friendly

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The application process was dealt with very fast and the whole placement was arranged with a solid structure

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

    • I had the chance to go to any site visit, manufacturer or learning day (within reason) and this is something that really made the placement excellent. Seeing processes and equipment in person makes the understanding that much easier. Expense was not an issue if the opportunity to learn something new was possible! I highly recommend BP for this reason and I feel that Aberdeen in particular allows for this.

    5/5

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    National Travel

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • After my placement experience I feel that BP is a great company to work for as thy really do look after their people. They invests in peoples knowledge and abilities to allow for constant development. The industry itself is very exciting too.
