    The Role

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

    • 4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • They are all lovely people that work here.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I had two managers which meant I was given two different directions which was confusing. Both were good at giving guidance though, it's a shame it was just different!

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

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

    • I felt I was given too much responsibility, I found it a bit overwhelming considering I didn't even have a degree!

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

    • Definitely beneficial.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The people are nice so the atmosphere was generally good.

    3/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Mine was a bit unorganized I felt, though this is probably a result of having two managers and of giving me too much responsibility. I had a few projects whilst I was here, whereas if you have just one it is easier and more organized.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I already had my offshore training though I know they would have paid for it for me if I had not. If you felt that something would be beneficial I would not imagine they would say no.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Sports and Social Club

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • It is such a large company there is many things to do. You just have to know what it is you want to do, easier said than done.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • The interns were sociable and the social club for Shell definitely used alot!

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Aberdeen is relatively expensive for accommodation, though everything else is fine.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Normal Scottish Northern city.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • It is what you make it, Shell didn't offer too many things but if you looked around there is always things to do in a city.

    4/5
