    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The company set up a 3 day residential aimed at training us to the PwC standards, as well as devoting 2 days in the office to the same task.

    The Culture

    3/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    3/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
