    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • PwC went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well fed on the placement. Entertainment was provided on the night and all of the staff were lovely. The workshops that theyput us on were also very engaging and interactive.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • There were a lot of people on the Talent Academy, however, everyone had the opportunity to feel valued just by joining in and showing a passion for learning and progression. The final debate was were the greatest individual value came into play as everyone had their own duty and research to carry out and feedback to the group.
