Thoroughly enjoyed the internship. The 3 day residential near Slough was a good icebreaker to get to know the other interns within the cohort. Not to mention being in a large room with the whole country's intake just shows the sheer size of the firm. The internship overall gave a very good understanding of the type of work my line of service would be doing at the firm.

I felt very valued by my colleagues. They went out of their way to make me seem like I was part of the team to ensure I had the best experience with the firm. My manager would set me work every day that would challenge me but were also a level that I could work on. You felt like an employee not an intern for a large part of the time.

My line manager was always available to help me with my work if I needed it. However it was always a good bet to give it your best attempt before asking for help. The support anf guidance you have will vary quite a lot depending on your team and manager. My manager had a form of support where I would very much lead myself to the right answer with slight oversight. Huge deal of independence.

This varied quite a lot which I found is down to the nature of the work. Some days there will be work piling up and on other days there will be very little work. This is down to the peaks and troughs of the job. When there was no work, there was a plethora of things to do eg. Read the news, read up on some training guides etc.

I wasn't given too much responsibility most due to the fact I was an intern without much experience. This is understandable and would be the same across the job market. I, however, had a great deal of control over my own work., which I could shape in my own way. This work would usually form the foundations or large majority of slides that were used in team meetings or meetings with clients. In terms of client resposibility there was none.

I don't believe the skills I learnt on the job will aid me with my degree studies but they will put me in good sted for everything else. You learnt a lot of life skills on the job whether it be networking or time managing that will most definitely be used in the future. The internship is what you made of it - the more active you were the more you learnt.

The atmosphere was very good around the office. It had a very casual feel to it - you could tell it was allow people to work in comfort. This is boosted by the free refreshments on offer on every floor such as coffee, tea and occasionally some fruit. A good factor!

The internship was organised very well. The team in HR put time and effort into ensuring we all had the best possible experience. The organisation was impeccable and the buddy system, people manager, catch up calls were all testament to the level of effort gone into organising the programme.

I've been told 94% of interns get a graduate offer. This is because the firm know you're capable of working at PwC or they wouldn't have offered you the internship in the first place. So unless you mess up big time and make no effort on your part then it's safe to assume you're in good sted to be made a grad offer.

A strong social scene was present as the interns all went out for drinks at the local pub/bar after every friday. Not everyone had to drink but it was more a gathering at a location that's away from the office but nearby, purely since it's nice to get a change of scenary. It's good to know you'll find yourself spending the majority of your time, socially, with people in your line of service.

The cost of Central London is very high to rent in. You can find affordable accomodation but only with a lengthy commute added. Socialising didn't cost anything as most of it was done within the office during lunch or after work. One thing I would recommend is try bring your own food in for lunch as the canteen has good food but the approx price is 拢4.50-拢5.00 which can rack up after a long internship.

There wasn't much oppotunity unforutnately to get involved with activities outside of work. I was hoping there'd be a society system similar to what universities had that allowed people of common interests to have a platform to connect. A group system is available but in no way is it widely used.
