    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was assigned a people manager and a buddy during the whole internship which helped me settle in well. I would communicate with both on a regular basis to discuss my progession and development. The managers on my client jobs were also very helpful and welcoming. I felt comfortable to ask for guidance if I needed it.

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • It was organised perfectly! The first week was a great way to settle in. We spent 3 days in Windsor and 2 days in the office for an induction. It was a great way to get to know all the other interns and learn the basics of what will be involved in the internship.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The firm invests a lot of time to make sure you are learning and developing during the internship. In Windsor, we had 3 days of training and learning the basics of Assurance/audit which was a great platform for the 5 weeks ahead. During you the internship we also had to complete elearn training which helps us understand what PwC expect from us and what we expect from them.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • National Travel

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very appealing! I am hoping to get an offer from them very soon. This internship is a really good insight into what it would be like to work for them on a full time basis.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • The cost of living is fairly average. As the office is in the city centre, there are plently of places to visit to socialise.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • There are plenty of clubs in the area.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There are not a lot of opportunties for interns as we are only there for a limited amount of time, but my collegues have said that there are so many things to do outside of work. There is something for everyone!
