About You
It was quite enjoyable, we got to meet lots of people from different parts of the firm and the most fun part of the discovery day was the trading stimulator and learning how to trade a little.
It was just a Discovery day but everyone was very nice and cordial.
As it was a Discovery day, we didn't need much 'support' but everyone was very cordial and we were constantly asked if we had any questions or would like to know some more.
As mentioned above, learning some basics on trading and playing the trading stimulator was lots of fun! The Discovery day at BP helped me explore other opportunities.
The Company
It was well structured in terms of how much was planned for us in the little time we were there. However, I would have like a break in between as it was a bit overwhelming. Apart from that, I think the structure was good and there was lots of activities and talks planned for us. Very informative and interesting day.
I liked the atmosphere, people were nice and cordial.
Not Applicable
To a great extent it was helpful- we got talks from some senior people who explained the different functions and what different opportunities were available. Along with that, we also got to meet recent graduates and talk to them. And we got to go on a tour and have a look at what the trading floor looks like.
I think the insight day was quite insightful.
It was quite valuable because it made me think of certain career paths that I had never thought of before.
Everything Else
They offered to reimburse travel costs but I didn't bother claiming it.
Yes, we got to meet senior people as well as recent graduates.
Good opportunity to network/ask questions.
Yes, we had someone talk to us about extra activities we could get involved with.
