Overall the internship was an enjoyable experience. The work was mostly interesting and stimulating, the people I got to work with were friendly and encouraged me to push myself and the other interns were friendly and sociable. I feel like I learned a lot during my time and it was time well spent.

Overall I felt like a valuable member of the team, that I contributed and genuinely shared the load of the project. Sometimes this is difficult because as an intern you simply don't know anything, so work takes you ten times longer to complete and you need guidance almost the whole was through. Even so, I was still made to feel worthwhile.

This is one area that pwc gets spot on. I was assigned a buddy, an associate from the firm who is basically your friend for the next few weeks. He was a really friendly guy and provided an informal relationship and point of contact outside of 'business'. The I also had a dedicated people manager, someone who helped me to set some internship objective and was there to try to help me get the most out of the internship I could.

As is typical of project work, this changed all the time. Sometimes I felt like I didn't have much to do and could probably use my time more effectively. Other times I'd feel swamped and like there wasn't enough time in the day to get everything done, which was more typical of being close to deadlines.

I think the balance between responsibility and guidance was well struck. I was able to wok on the final business case of my project, which is the most important deliverable and a document which decided whether the company secures further work (and money) with the client. But regular review and guidance over my work was always on hand (and needed!)

I gained some essential skills and experience in MS Excel and Powerpoint, something that university didn't really provide. But also I was able to be a part of meetings and observe how best to interact with others. How best to explain yourself, how best to get your point across and how you can get the most out of yourself and those around you.

Vibrant. More London is a really nice part of London and I loved working in the office, although I was on client-site 4/5 days a week, meaning that I wasn't able to spend as much time there as I would have liked. But this is all part and parcel of consulting.

Overall well - there were events set up for interns to network and enjoy spending some time with eachother. A 'challenge' for interns to work on in their spare time too, which definitely helped us to engage with something more common when we were all working with different teams. Your day to day work is left down to your project team and in my case they weren't aware that I was joining them until the day before. I know in some cases the interns didn't have much to do within their teams all of the time.

I was surprised at how much time and money they invested into us. We had a three day induction at a hotel to begin with, where we were well looked after and taught the basics of the company. Then I always had regular forms of contact with my supervisors/buddy for them to check in that everything was going well and that I was developing as much as I could be.

Very - after the internship I still feel like PwC is the firm I want to work for and that I have a lot to gain by being a part of the firm. PwC invest a lot of time in the development of its employees, which is why is such a good company to have on your CV. The company is also very flexible with regards to the type of work you want to do and where you want to work - anywhere in the world.

Yes - the initial induction consisted of a lot of dinners and evenings where we could get to know eachother. The interns always organised a night out/going for drinks on fridays after work. This is something I definitely would have got involved more if I could, but I found this difficult given that I was in a different project team to everyone else and on client site - so I could only see the other interns once a week.

Very expensive - I lived in central London right near the More London area. Bars and restaurants are expensive and the accomodation was very expensive. Unfortunately this is just something you have to get used to and part of living and working in London. But I'd say the perks of the capital outweigh the costs.

Really good. Plenty of bars close by to the office, with plenty of people drinking inside them. A little bit further out there are loads of clubs of all different kinds, which is definitely a perk of living in central london. The nightlife is expensive but worth it in my opinion.

Lots - there was a 'Dragons Den' event set up for the interns. We could engage in a challenge that the company genuinely wanted solving in our spare time, which gave us opportunity to work on something common to all of us. There is a big sports scene within pwc that you can get involved in too, as well as lots of networking events.
