    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I absolutely loved my internship. Even though it was virtual everyone I worked with was so nice and helped me so much. Couldn’t recommend bp more as a company.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt so supported. My supervisor met with me everyday, even tho he was in the US, and gave me all the support and guidance. My line manager would reply to my emails so fast and again have me so much support. Everyone in my team also made me feel so welcomed.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • As stated before I was given so much support and guidance. They trusted me a lot with my project but also helped me where I needed it. They also but me in contact with other employees to allow me to network.

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

    • I think the placement really improved my presentation skills as well as my confidence, which will help going into my degree. I also learnt a lot of new technical skills I can use in my masters!

    5/5

    • So it was virtual, however, the atmosphere in all meetings was friendly and positive. I loved working with people all over the world.

    • I actually can’t believe how well they did it to say it was virtual. HR were amazing!

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

    • All my team gave me a lot of time. They allowed me to develop in areas of my choice and put me in a position to do this, giving me required resources.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • We were told we should hear if we were converting our internships in 2-3 weeks. However it is now 4 full weeks and I have had no communication. However the graduate scheme does sound very good.

    2/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • We had 3 different social committees. I was apart of one and we organised socials to get to know the other interns. There was also a intern family scheme with grads to integrate us.
