    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed getting a feel for PwC and talking to a range of people. However, a week was quite short and sometimes there was not much to do and a lack of knowledge about who was in charge of you.

    3/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • Everyone was very friendly and keen to make you feel welcome.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • I received a lot of guidance and support from HR and also a support from my team when asked for. However, a lot of knowledge was assumed and therefore not explained.

    3/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • It will definitely help inform my job choices and give me an indication of what its like in the working world. Will also help in interviews.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The structure much depended on which team you were put into. I ended up with a lack of structure because no one was sure who was in charge of me and so I wouldn't know where I was meant to go each day and what time I was meant to arrive/leave etc.

    2/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • It was friendly and welcoming.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • One of my mentors gave me an elearning course to go on. Otherwise I just had to ask questions to improve my learning.

    3/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • It helped in that I saw what it would be like everyday and I was able to ask people what it is like. However, I was not given any high level tasks (understandably) and so do not have a clear idea.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I really grasped the company culture from being there and seeing how employees communicate and the hours they do etc.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It was valuable, however hard to grasp whether I would enjoy it full time.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was paid a good wage. However travel and accommodation were not covered, and rent in London for a week is far higher than the wage.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes, it was easy to walk around and meet new people and be introduced.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Not during the week that I was there.

    1/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, I found out about sports teams and charity events and marathons.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes I would, to get a feel for the company as a whole.

    5/5
