  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • They really put a foot in to help you decide if it's right for you and provided as much information as they can. It's just an insight but the questions you ask is what makes your insight worth it.

  • 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?
  • Significantly understood what it's like to be a Trader at BP and even the other streams they offered. We have talks from a variety of workers who were all involved in different roles, they explained what they do and influenced others to do what they do.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Very very helpful, we had a tour of the outstanding modern Trading floor of today, we saw different departments and roles people do on the floor and had a speaker to talk us about everything they do.

    4/5

  • Very valuable as the help with the information that they provide, they don't just tell us about information they also explain how you could get there and how they actually got in the position they are in today.

    5/5

  • Yes, throughout the day we spoke to different people within the firm and we were all split into small groups throughout the tour with different speakers.

  • Very good, we were given out nice snacks and food at the beginning where we could all socially amongst ourselves.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, we had someone from the HR team talking about what they do. The best way to find out is to actually work there.

    3/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes I already have, the insight is great as it can help you to decide whether trading is right for you. Trading isn't for everyone but a mildly competitive trading game can distinguish those who are right for the job.
