    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • despite being an intern i was given independence, respect and responsibility just as any other member of the team would

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • i had a buddy and a people manager who were alwasy available to met or message should i eed somehelp. not only that but everyone in the office was happy to help if you approuched them with a problem

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • some days i was really busy. but there were also days which were quiet which gave m time to write up feedback or do e-learn. it was a very varied few weeks, most days i would go to the office not knowing what i would be doing that day. the variety and chnage of dynamics was what made the role really enjoyable. at sompoints i didnt have any work for anyone and i would have to do e-learns all day, these days weren't so enjoyable because i really was keen to get involved

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • i was given a very good amount- not so much that i would feel anxious or nervous to do work but given enough that i felt i wasn't continually being watched and was able to work independently. also, over my time at pwc, the more i learnt, the more responsibility i was given

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • very much so. i recall my first and second yea at uni were a real struggle when it came ot using excel or computers in general- now i feel really competant with excel and have picked up key skills which save so much time. this will deifnately help me throughout the rest of my degree and in life as a whole. also, the exposure i have had to looking at accounts is also going to be really useful if i take accountancy modules next year or i every start my own business

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • the atmosphere was quite varied depending on the team you were working for. but on the whole i felt that everyone was welcoming each day. i alwasy felt 'at home' at the office and safe to leave my belongings around while i went to the toilet or to get a drink. the atmoshphere ar the office was probably a key reaosn why i looked forwrad to going to wokr each day. the people i worked with made the job really enjoyable

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • generally, the internship ran really smoothly. i did have a few issues with resourcing- i was double booked once and some weeks they couldnt find me any work at all so i had to go and find my own which was sometimes difficult.

    3/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • alot. every time i was put on a job i would be assigned a personal coach who worked alonside me on any task i was given. they would sit with me as long as i needed, explaing the task and teaching me the skills i would need ot complete it.

    3/5

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
