I really enjoyed being able to get involved with relevant and useful work during my time at PwC. I got to meet so many new people, both interns and employees, that it was really worth my time to be there. The culture of PwC is really inclusive, and very friendly to new people in the company.

Everybody was very friendly to me as a new joiner. The colleagues in my department would take time out from their work to explain concepts to me and make me feel welcomed into the office. They also would give a lot of constructive feedback, signalling that they were valuing my input into the team.

Everyone in the company gets a People Manager who you meet up with on a regular basis to chat about how things are going/if you want to raise any issues. I felt I could approach my People Manager with anything, and they helped advise me on the best course of action throughout my internship.

I had a lot of long running projects in my department, meaning my schedule was a bit up to me. I would always have something to do, but I never felt too pressured to stay late or anything to get work done. It鈥檚 fair to say I was always busy with something to do, but never to the point where it felt like I was stressed with the amount of work I had.

It鈥檚 hard in a 6 week internship to be given a huge amount of responsibility. However, I did get put on some projects that clients would see, and my main projects were praised for being useful internal tools making me feel like I had a good impact with my work. For the most part, I was given the freedom to work on the projects independently, which was a nice feeling.

We initially had some general training which was useful for my commercial awareness/ business development skills. The presentations I did were useful for boosting my self-confidence as well. I also did a lot of technical work on my projects, which will be useful for improving my programming knowledge for when I go back to University.

The office had a relaxed and friendly vibe to it. Everyone could walk around and talk to the other departments with ease, and the longer you spent around the more people you鈥檇 recognise. While it was a big office, it never felt too big to be unnerving. It鈥檚 also a nice place to work in general.

Overall, the set up was great! We had a few days training off site to start with, which had a lot of nice benefits to it. During the internship itself, there were always people checking up on me to make sure I was having a good time, and I was given a good amount of work to get involved with.

As the internship was only 6 weeks, we didn鈥檛 get a lot of specific training for the role. However, the initial broad training was helpful, and if I came back as a graduate I would get a lot more specific training for my line of service. The company has a strong emphasis on letting you do courses that would benefit you.

There are a lot of grad jobs up for grabs, and it鈥檚 no wonder a lot of people go for them! Getting involved with the company as a graduate sounds like a great experience, with a lot of training and development, and the work itself is very rewarding as you get more experience and responsibility in the firm.

I had a great group of friends during the internship who I met during the initial training period. We would spend a lot of time together, and being in London made going out for drinks easy. The various departments as well organised a few socials, and everyone was up for going to the pub after work.

Central London is quite an expensive area, for living, commuting, eating out, going out, etc. There are always places to go which can be cheaper, but they are a little out of the way, and usually people from work would opt for the nearest bar/pub. It's tricky starting as an intern, because your salary isn't necessarily as high yet!

The nightlife was great around where I worked. Plenty of bars and pubs, plenty of restaurants, and even if you didn't want to stay in the local area everything is just a tube journey away. Fortunately, most things were in walking distance from the office, so it was easy to go out after work.

Given that it was such a short time to be working, it was hard to find things to get involved with. There are usually a lot of schemes going on (charity events, socials, clubs, etc.), but I couldn't really join any in the short time I was in the office for.
