    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The PwC community makes you feel extremely welcome from the start, everyone is happy to give you a hand. I feel as though the work could of been more testing but that does come with a junior position

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I definitely felt valued by colleagues. All work I was given contributed directly into the main job being worked on, and often feedback would be a large thanks for helping to contribute.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • The support system was great, from the start you are given a buddy and people manager to help guide you through the process. Generally anyone else in the office is also happy to give advice/answer a question

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Business fluctuated, but for the majority of the internship I was assigned a team to work with

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was definitely given work that was contributing to projects and often left to get on with it without someone looking over a shoulder all the time. This put a couple of different aspects of responsiblity on me

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team in a new environment will be invaluable for future jobs and potentially any group work in my degree. Lots of the skills using the software used are quite niche to the company but I imagine would be similar to technology used by other companies

    3/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone's willing to talk with you, whatever their level. Pretty social atmosphere

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Had work to do at most times and communication was good as to what work we were meant to be doing

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The starting training few days was a good start to al have a similar level of training. They clearly invest time into you with the thoughts that you are a potential future employee.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    National Travel
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • 4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?

    • Interns met up regularly. Less so with the teams but that's slightly to be expected as we were on different jobs every week

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • 4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • 3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
