    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed my internship. It gave me a great experience to know more about oil and gas industry. Also, I worked with very friendly and helpful people who helped me make my experience worth it. Along with working on various tools that Schlumberger works on and learning from them, I had many opportunities to attend various recreational events like canoe day out, interns' day in London, team lunches to name a few.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • The best part of working at Schlumberger was that I had the opportunity to work with such friendly and amazing colleagues. Right from day one, I was being treated like a family just like any other employee who has been working there for many years. Moreover, my team organised a team lunch for my farewell at the end of the internship. This shows how well Schlumberger respects its employees no matter at what level you are working in the company.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The support from my manager and every colleague was fantastic. I was guided and helped at every point I was stuck at work.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I would say, I had a perfect desk work and lab work balance. Also, I had the freedom to take small breaks and grab a cup of coffee or relax with my colleagues in between different tasks. Along with this, I had a perfect work-life balance. I had to prioritise my own work and complete it within the given deadline. That gave me an opportunity to work as per my comfort.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was working on real projects during my internship. This gave me immense satisfaction as my work was making a difference to company's projects.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I had got an opportunity to develop and enhance various soft skills along with technical skills. I learnt how to prioritize different projects and work on them in a structured manner. This is definitely helping me in my final year as I have 8 - 10 credit units along with 40 credit final year project to complete.
