    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The PwC summer internship more than exceeded my expectations of what I initially thought it would be like. I was surprised at how involved I was allowed to be with the jobs I was assigned to. Everyone on the jobs I was assigned to were extremely friendly and willing to help both coach me and answer any questions I had about the work I was set. I thoroughly enjoyed the 6 week internship, meeting neew people and being assigned to different jobs meant that this internhip flew by!
