Electrical Engineering Intern
Department: Oil Gas Chemical Electrical Team
My experience
Overview
Mainly cable schedules and grounding/power studies. Cable schedules were really boring but necessary, studies were interesting but the software is not user friendly (but none is in industry).
Kind of backstabbing culture, was used as a scape goat for another newer engineer who was struggling. You rate your coworkers to determine bonuses at the end of the year so if you're not into playing the corporate game and giving off fake smiles it kinda blows. Also being bottom of the totem pole in OGC sucks (chemical > mechanical > civil > electrical).
Would recommend it to people who...
Want to go into Power Engineering and are very competitive.

Interview questions
Mainly prior experience and displaying interest in learning about the power industry got me the internship. Also was currently working a Co-Op at my manager's previous work place and building rapport on that assisted.
Advice on how to prepare
Basic power engineering (3 phase etc.) along with some form of database skills goes a long way. Relevant experience helped me a lot.
