The Role
My work placement was a brilliant year that tested and pushed me throughout. I worked with a fantastic team that allowed me to experience so much whilst also presenting me with countless opportunities. Overall I couldn't of asked for a better 12 months and enjoyed the overall time a had with the team massively.
I quickly became familiar with my base team who I now consider to be very close friends. In turn, I was introduced into the wider national team during the early stages of the year. Over the course of the year I found the connective working relationships between the national teams allowed for a fantastic support network.
You will always have a good support network when you join as a result of having a buddy, people manager and line manager. All 3 individuals I worked with helped to give both personal and professional guidance when dealing with various work issues or worries.
The team I worked with allowed to have a considerable amount of responsibility and as a result lead to having a substantial work load throughout the year. Therefore, I was busy on a daily basis and at no point did I ever feel like a placement 西瓜视频. I was very much seen as a full time employee which was noted by many that were shocked to hear I was leaving to come back to university.
Manager level of responsibility I was given, specifically 2 grades higher than my job role title.
work ethic, increased confidence and improved focus are just a few of the skills I hope to transfer into my final year of study. The year has taught me so much more than I could ever of hoped for and has given me so much more than expected
The Company
All departments we're extremely friendly and approachable and made going into the office a fun experience.
At the beginning of the placement the training was structured and organised and once the initial introduction phase finished there was continued support from the manager of the placements programme in PwC.
I had several formal and informal training and development experiences during the placement. For examples, continued development sessions when using a new system.

Extremely! I have decided to accept a job offer off from PwC as a result.
The Culture
facebook and email was used to connect other placement 西瓜视频s together. Specifically placement champions helped to bring the current year of 西瓜视频s together from regional and London based offices.
I lived in Manchester for the year, its a growing city with lots of investment where the overall cost of living is still reasonably priced. Transport is cheap and I was able to keep a car close to the centre of town for a very reasonable price.
The social life was brilliant in terms of the city having everything that you could ever want from the variety in nightlight.
Lots! PwC netball and charity runs were to events I got involved with during the year.
