    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed the placement. It was fun meeting new people and getting their ideas. Everyone at pwc was kind and it was a friendly atmosphere. The task that was help was difficult to understand at first but as soon as the host described it, it was easy. We got the hang of it. It was an amazing session with so many new people. it was the best job ever because it gave equal opportunities to everyone to bring forward their point of view.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Everyone at pwc or the people who were attending the program were kind and soft spoken. They valued my opinions and gave me suggestions to add on to my points. I felt that I was heard and my view points were valued. We discussed in a group and thus it was good, everyone had a chance to speak. As I was valued by others, I made sure that they feel the same. Hence when they heard my comments, I made sure that I lead my ears to their points too. This made the group work easy and made it possible to understand and follow what has been asked from us.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The management was good. Each one of us was valued and we were given equal opportunities to ask questions as well as answer the questions that were being asked. It was a good friendly atmosphere that they created. We were first offered tea and coffee to boost our energy and feel the ease to work in, with new people. The managers guided us and supported us. If some questions in the task were not clear, they helped us understand. They gave a brief introduction about PWC in the beginning which made us feel good as we knew a bit more. We had some knowledge of what we are going to be listening today. Therefore the support level was good and high in terms of rating it.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was busy, as I had to read the instructions carefully and then follow what has been asked. We all got chance to collect our thoughts at first. We were given personal time to write and collect information. That time I was a bit busy as I had to complete the task and discuss it with my team members. It went good. It was a good balance of both communicating time and self time which kept us busy and concentrated.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given much responsibility as I had to read and write carefully. I made the most out of the placement as it was comfortable and also made me learn something. Since I was eager to learn I asked my new questions for myself and my team which was a kind of responsibility that I had. I was given the responsibility of reading and making my team members understand the essay that was given to us.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills I developed were communicating skills, group work, team building skills. I also learnt to take initiative and put forward my view points of what I thought and did. The training I received was way beyond expectations and assisted me in my degree studies as I know the path to PWC and how it will take me there. I know the different routes I can take and purse my degree. Thanks to PWC for being such a good guide.

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The general atmosphere at my office is friendly. Everyone is eager to work and to get promotion. They want to be successful therefore they work day and night. They feel that their work is their life and that is how amazingly my colleagues and I work. It is fun to keep working, we do need break sometimes but even then we prefer working rather than doing nothing or just wasting time. We always learn something new from working and it is like an experience for us. It depends on the time we dedicate to work, what our results or outcome will be.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The work placement set up was more than expected. The tables and chairs were arranged in a proper manner. The food was well organized. The papers, books were neatly kept on the table. There was enough place for everyone to sit and it was comfortable enough. We liked the atmosphere. The day was well planned and we made the best use of it. We definitely enjoyed the day and a well-organized place like PWC.

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The company PWC made good efforts to make us feel comfortable. They told us about the opportunities that we have and how we can succeed. They made it easy and explained about the firm and how they can assist in helping us and get a job. It was good. We also made notes in order to write any important material or information that they were giving. They also told us to ask questions separately if we had any.
