    The Role

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

    • Very well structured with plenty of people to talk to if you need help

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

    • It is hard to integrate into an existing team, but in BP everyone welcomes you and are very friendly if you need help.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Again, very well structured and always available for meetings if needed.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It can be busy at times, but it is very enjoyable work and plenty of oppurtunities to chat to other engineers is also good.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • You aren't left to do it all yourself but you can pretty much work away on your project once you know what you are doing.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As an all round person, communication for example and confidence have grown immensely through this placement

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • 4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I don't think it could have been organised any better, everything is covered. If not just ask a question.

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

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

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

    • 3/5

    The Culture

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

    • 5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • London can be expensive but you are getting an extra allowance to account for this so it is ok.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • You have to travel to find a good place. I suggest that you contact people who work at company to suggest a place to live

    0/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • 5/5
