About the Opportunity
For penultimate year students, our paid 12-week internship program will run from November 2019 to February 2020 and spans across a broad range of commercial functions. Whichever route you choose, you'll get a role which will add value to our business – with your own responsibilities and an opportunity to shine. Our internships give you an insight into the real world of business. You'll do real work and projects that that impact BP, our stakeholders and our customers. In some instances, you might also have the opportunity to take on part-time work after you've completed your internship with us.
In 2019/20 we have a number of internships within the Commercial space with a key focus on finance analysis & modelling, accounting and business analysis. This is a great opportunity to kick start your career in the Commercial space!
Wherever you join us, you'll benefit from a structured programme of work with real responsibility. You'll experience on-the- job learning, along with development training to suit your role. Working across teams and functions, you'll enjoy access to some of the most talented people in their fields.
No matter where you work at BP, you'll be valued, included and respected. We'll provide you with on-going support and we'll reward you for the great work you do.

Pros and cons of working at BP Australia
Pros
Flexibility and work-life balance Support, you feel like a member of the team Variety in work content and the opportunity to develop and be challenged.
Exciting industry to be in.
Culture - everyone is very friendly and supportive (personally and professionally).
Some nice people here.
Flexibility, very friendly atmosphere.
Cons
Some cultural aspects, such as safety attitudes.
Minimal transparency on opportunities being available.
Depending on what team you are in you may be required to do a significant amount of work that does not utilise your tertiary level of education (typical of teams that do not have well established roles for graduates). I do understand though that someone has to do this work and a graduate is the most likely candidate...but it should not dominate in terms of time.
Graduate work is quite unfulfilling; lack of openness to fresh ideas.
Slightly bureaucratic.
