    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the day! It was great being able to meet Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs from other universities and employers of BP on their graduate scheme, who have recently finished a degrees. It was interesting being out to hear about their experiences.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt quite valued as if BP gave us important information on technical interviews and assessment centres to help us when applying for internships with them and other companies.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • We received excellent guidance and support as BP ran technical interview and assessment centre workshops to give as a taster of what would be expected in these situations. We were given valuable feedback on our responses so we can build on our skills for when we have real technical interviews or assessment centres.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills I gained, I believe, will be skills for life. The help they gave in the technical interview workshop and assessment centre workshop will not only help when applying to BP for an internship, but also other companies.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight day involved talks from employees on the graduate scheme, a tour of BP's facilities and technical interview and assessment centre workshops. At no point in the day where we bored with nothing to do.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The general atmosphere was great. The positivity shown by the BP staff transferred over to the Î÷¹ÏÊÓÆµs, helping us work together on our assessment centre task and showing us what it would really be like to work for BP.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • With the workshops in a technical interview assessment centre, I feel like BP did invest a lot in us as scholars. We spent most of the afternoon working on these skills so that BP could help us when applying for internships, even if for a different company.

    4/5

  • 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?
  • We had several 'day in the life' talks which gave us an insight into what employees of BP experience in their jobs, which I feel has aided my decision of what field I would like to go in to once I have finished my degree.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I feel I already knew a little about BP and their values and the insight day reinforced these views.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I feel the day has reinforced my aims for the future once I finish my degree, such as what field I would like to work it and what sort of company I would like to work for.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I have been provided with a reimbursement form and will be sending this off within the next few days.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • We had the opportunity to network and meet other employees over lunch but I feel perhaps a set time to network may have been useful, other than over lunch.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • I feel I could have gained more from the networking and social aspects of the day had we been warned prior to lunch that this would be one of the only opportunities.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Not really but as everything is crammed into one day I feel like this would have been less significant compared to some of the other information we found out.

    2/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes I will definitely recommend this to a friend as I feel it opens your eyes to the world of work which you can't really experience whilst at university.

    5/5
