Well Data Foundations Summer 2021 Digital Intern Review

role: digital intern working in a data science squad on one of the bp products As teams are generally split US/UK meetings tend to start after midday. Mornings were dedicated to research and independent work (online learning/training at first and then programming, preparing presentations, testing digital products). Most of this time (60% is spent on your intern project(s) and the rest on smaller tasks). Afternoons were spent in meetings - daily standups and also time with specialists discussing the products or getting help / asking questions.

bp gives access to Coursera and LinkedIn learning. There are also trainings available in-house, some of which are exclusive to interns or interns and challengers, others which are open to all and require signups (and sometimes have waitlists) and some available online (learning paths and Communities of Practice) Skills gained (through a combination of experience and learning opportunities): - programming and working in an Agile product development team - introduction to PowerBI - introduction to specialist software (Petrel)

I was given a project related to the product my team was working on in view of adding a new feature, and also some admin responsibilities within the team as well as access to other teams and work opportunities (smaller projects/tasks) with them. I was working independently and my work given the same amount of consideration as permanent employees- I was able to interact with stakeholders and present my work at reviews.

weekly: check-ins with my line manager and challenger buddy daily (barring Fridays): standups with my supervisor and teams It was easy to set up meetings with my supervisor and key team members to discuss my project. This was also the case with other bp employees who were recommended for help with specific issues. Everyone I encountered was respectful and open to helping admin/tech issues were always addressed same day / asap by EC team

- Friendly, open and positive atmosphere during the entire internship - Interesting lunch & learn events each week, and access to some challenger events and socials - Office spaces were very pleasant. Desks were easy to book and access was made clear before attending No pressure at all to work long hours/weekends

Great team and work environment. Did not feel competitive and high-quality learning/skills development opportunities were great for exploring new interests without fear of failing or falling behind. Felt like a really good insight into what actual working life at the company is like
