    About You

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

    • It was a really interesting and informative day, and good fun too. Definitely worth doing as they pay your transport, so there is no reason not too!

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

    • Hard to say if you felt valued as it was only a day, but all the staff were really friendly and easy to talk to.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • This isn't a hugely relevant question for a day programme, but listening to the graduates and people who had done internships it sounds like if you did a longer programme BP give plenty of support.

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

    • Again as it was only a day I didn't gain new skills, but I did learn a lot about the company and graduate programs.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • It was well structured, morning involved a few talks from employees and graduates on their Challenger programme, followed by a chance to talk to them over lunch. Then the afternoon included tours of the labs in Sunbury.

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

    • Lovely atmosphere, everyone was friendly and chatty. I enjoyed talking to some of the graduates and the other university 西瓜视频s with similar interests.

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

    • Can't really say anything to this as it was only a day programme.

    3/5
  • 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?

    • The initial talks were from employees who had been there 30+ years and they told you about their career to give an insight into having a job there.

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

    • Talking to the people on the Challenger programme the company culture seems very friendly. There are plenty of opportunities for training and developing your skills even once in a job.

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

    • Very helpful, I'm doing a geology degree and really wasn't sure what career path I want to go down, but a career in the energy (oil) industry seemed a definite possibility after that day.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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

    • Paid for all travel and organised it through another company. I think they even paid for a hotel if it was too far to travel in a day.

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

    • Good chance over lunch to meet employees and graduates.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • As good as you can have in a day. Time before it began, at the end and over lunch. All staff were very approachable.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Graduates were very enthusiastic about activities outside work! Mentioned Flexi-Fridays so sometimes getting the Friday off.

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

    • 100% worth doing, only a day of your time and you learn a lot. Plus it costs you nothing. Good insight to say if a future application for an internship/graduate programme would be worthwhile.

    5/5
