    About You

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I appreciate that despite the pandemic outbreak, BP didn't cancel the insight event and decided to change it to a virtual one instead. I think it shows that they care about meeting the expectations even of its youngest participants.

    5/5

    3/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Unfortunately, I don't think it was sector-specific enough to give a full overview of what work in a particular sector looks like. However, I appreciate that the possibilities here were quite limited due to the online mode of the event. I really liked that we had separate rooms for technical interviews session - this way I could have some insight into interviews for my sector in particular.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • It was structured in a series of webinars with Q&A questions on Microsoft Teams. I appreciate that the event was as interactive as it could be and we were able to ask questions. However, the sessions were quite irregularly distributed in time (probably due to lack of time to properly plan the event), making the structure a bit chaotic.

    3/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Overall, I enjoyed it and I appreciate that it was adjusted to fit the current circumstances. I also felt that all questions were welcome and that our expectations matter.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I think we received some help in terms of application advice and preparing for technical interviews.

    4/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • I really appreciated that the presenters were graduates in respective sectors. It made each story really relevant and personal. However, I would appreciate if I was given (and shown, in case of a live event) more sector-specific information.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I think it was helpful. I definitely saw a supportive and inclusive community of ambitious people.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Definitely very informative of company culture and encouraged me to apply for a summer internship. Probably didn't drastically influence my overall career plans nor question me doing my degree, but I didn't expect it to do so.

    4/5

    4/5

  • Generally, I would. I think it was very informative about the company and its culture, although I would like to see more sector-specific content.
