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

    5/5

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

    • It is up to you how busy you make yourself. If you don't find some projects to help out on or do yourself then you will probably be bored. But there is plenty going on to help pass the day.

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

    • Good responsibilities handed to me with coding for projects for various scientists. If the code didn't work then they would be pissed!

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • A wide range of skills are required to work at SLB and Cambridge is a great place to try and get hands on experience with most of them.

    5/5

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

    4/5

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

    • Cambridge is very expensive, but higher pay packet makes up for higher living costs.

    3/5
