The Role
I have thoroughly enjoyed it thus far, it has been interesting and exciting.
Fitting in has been relatively easy.
all i need to do is ask for help, all members of staff are eager to help/listen.
I have been kept busy the whole time, this has been done by allocating me numerous tasks to work on.
i am left to work on my own, but obviously my work is monitored. the work i am doing is relevant and this helps with the interest and level of work.
it has been an excellent insight into the industry and im sure will help in my last year of studies
The Company
it is a friendly and warm atmosphere, it has never been a thought stepping into the office.
my work outline was clear, a few additions have caused to reschedule tasks but overall really well organised.
i feel that BP have went beyond what is required in terms of training for me, giving me training that will be useful in my future career.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
i would like to work for BP, however i have not yet compared them with other companies.
The Culture
all interns are friendly and easy to approach.
I stayed at home
ok, but im from aberdeen so im used to it.
good communication with fellow interns has allowed plenty of oppertunities.
