I was required to be on site 4 days a week and in the office one day a week. This role involved both physical work and office work. The physical work revolved around observing and contributing to the extraction of natural gas from their Newport site, whil...
I feel that my placement was a total waste of time. From the first week it became quite apparent that the company invests nothing in you as an Industrial Placement Student, and if you're lucky, you just get given the most mundane tasks that no one else wa...
The work wasn't technical enough for me as a mechanical engineer. There are interesting technological developments going on in the industry but gaining exposure to them while you are on placement is tough. You create your own projects out of the work you ...
It wasn't bad getting some work experience. However, you were just left to do your own thing at your desk for 2 months. Hardly the ideal internship
The work experience was only one week long but i had a fantastic time with ExxonMobil and would have loved it if they had let me do some extra time there.
Very enjoyable experience. Always had something to do and was approached whenever i looked bored
Completely unique
Set a 10week project with a clear goal, very structured and difficult to put my own stamp on it
It was really fun, met some great people and had loads of physical activities.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my work placement. I have been faced with some real challenges and have enjoyed working along side the team to achieve high standard results.
Once you got to know the place the work was generally rewarding as it wasn't fake and would have been done by another engineer had you not been there.
ExxonMobil is an International Company whom treat their employees well and are involved in a wide range of interesting, diverse projects. I really enjoyed my internship because I met lots of new people and asked lots of questions to find out as much infor...
I loved working for Exxon. They are involved in lots of interesting projects and have a very talented team. Also as a Chemical Engineer they had lots of work that I could get involved in.
It was a lot of work, but learned a lot so it was great.
Very interesting assignments. Results that will be used in the company. Great social life after work, stimulated by the company.
Very well organised internship, everything is looked after, great introduction, e.g. teambuilding event in the second week in order to get to know the interns from other Exxonlocations, too. Project well selected. The project is not just a job to keep the...
ExxonMobil is a fantastic company to work for, they make you feel valued and the project you are given is actually a real problem it is not just a project made up for a student and then binned when you leave.
