    The Role

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

    • This company really cares about their workers, and I think this is one of the most important factors why I would choose them. Everyone's really supportive, they want you to enjoy your job.

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

    • We became like friends! We were having dinner together, sharing experiences and getting advice from others. Everyone's really nice there!

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

    • We were getting some presentations, we had a chance to ask lots of questions. Also we were introduced to some specific sectors (myself - manufacturing engineering) and see what is done there. Schlumberger really wanted us to understand what they're doing and how they're doing it. That's the most important.

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