  • BP reimbursed me fully for my travel - they provided a great deal amount of information regarding the travel process to and from the venue. this included the different travel methods to and from the venue and the easiest methods to reach the destination. I found that it was easy to navigate myself.

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The networking and social events were absolutely great. I have no complaints about the strucutre of the event at all ! Perhaps there could have been even more time to network with the other employees at the company, and perhaps there could have been more employees from different divisions within BP.
