Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I had to complete a self-directed project. Workload very variable and depends on the stage of the project. Bi-weekly meetings with my line manager and meetings with various stakeholders in the project.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was solely responsible for delivering my project and given a meaningful task within the company. I was guided by my supervisor but as the lead of the project I took the responsibility.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I've learned a lot about the company and how large organisations work, as well as improving my networking skills. I've also found the internship useful for project management and developing a business sense. The internship has helped with my confidence and public speaking skills by having to present my work to senior people within the company.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I had as much support as I asked for. If you needed help you'd have to ask for it but everyone was very friendly and willing to help me solve my problems. I had twice weekly check-ins with my supervisor who guided me on next steps and told me where I needed to improve.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very friendly. Everyone is smiley and willing to help. A mentor told me this was because of the dangers traditionally involved in oil and gas that meant everyone had to support each other, because the risks were so great that failure to do so could lead to disaster. The business is less perilous now, but the friendly culture lives on!

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Remote working allowed me a lot of flexibility which I really enjoyed, although more in person elements would have been great. I liked immersing myself in the company and meeting all the people here.
