I went to work experience, and for the first week i went to a relevantly small company that has just under 1000 employees all over the world, just over 200 in the middle east, and focuses on the creation of technology which helps enhance the oil and gas industries (the companies name is above).
What did I learn
At Proserv I went through a period of 5 days in which i was taught a general idea of what most of the employees at most/all of the departments jobs are. of which were the finance, HR, projects, QSHE (quality, health, safety and environment) etc. Technically i did not really do any work there, and one of the goals i would set the company would be: when taking students to work experience, they should also arrange something for the students to do besides just teach them of what is done. Personally i can not blame them, the main reason to that is i rather not work then work, and the other reason would be that it is not a company can afford mistakes, because every project they do probably costs around $100,000 minimum.
I also saw some of the technology they manufacture, though i will not portray any out of the fear i may be revealing something that is confidential, considering i signed the confidentiality agreement.
Do i recommend students to go to Proserv in future?
Yes, i would, because even though it was kind of boring it was fairly interesting as well and it does give a general view of what people do experience and do at work.
