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

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • To a good extent, as BP values its partnership and collaborating programmes as they understand this makes Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs realise how a working environment is different to that at university and also we where given the opportunity to do task that an employee would also have to do on a daily basis

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Very well organised and alot of activities. Did overrun in most cases but that was due to allowing more time to be spent on activities

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It was incredibly friendly! Everyone was very nice and really made an effort to make us all feel comfortable and welcomed. Networking had to be the best part of the night because we really got to see so many people from across the firm, with different levels of experience. Everyone from the most senior to the newest starters were keen to talk to us

    4/5

  • They really went out of their way to inform us about the application process and what they were looking for in potential candidates. At the same time they really helped give us tips and hints on how to perform well in the recruitment process.

  • 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?
  • I spent the best part of an hour talking to a grad schemer, who really explained the role, her experience, the best and worst parts of the role. It was a real eye opener and she really did sell the firm to me

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • It was extremely helpful! Seeing all these people from around the firm at the end, all there to talk to you and engage with you was proof enough that it's an extremely welcoming and friend,y place to work. The hierarchy is flat in the firm, you spend time talking to anyone, and it's usually the seniors that will reach out to you and ask you how you're doing.

    4/5
