About You
It was very enjoyable, kept busy with actual work to do and not just photocopying etc.
I felt valued by the team, and had lunches with members of staff and was involved in video conferences with them.
I had lots of different people who i could go to, email or IM if i had any questions.
I'm not yet at degree level but the insight into HR was very useful.
The Company
Very well structured, no times when i was bored at all.
It was a working environenment with busy people, but people were still smiling and being friendly, helping me find rooms etc. - a very good atmosphere
I'm only an A-Level student on a 2 week placement so it wasnt really in that sense.
It gave me a really useful insight into what its like working in a few diferent departments at shell.
Learnt about the ethics of the business as a whole and its policies.
Well it helped me cross off a few options and look into some new ones.
Everything Else
Paid for all food and travel.
I was able to meet lots of other firm members and talk to them a bout their roles
They were great, i was able to get interviews and find out about alot of other departments and everyone was so friendly i could ask them to get a coffee.
They have a gym and table tennis equipment, they can go to formula 1 events like silverstone etc.
definitely, it was great
