    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed the teams I was drafted into; I managed to fit in well. I appreciated the time they spent coaching me. I liked being on client site as it gives you a varied experience in different environments.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was often given important tasks to do, and was spoken to as if a normal member of the team, therefore I did feel well valued.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Any questions I had about work or culture, they answered to the full.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Some days I was more busy than others. I think it depends on what stage of the audit you are drafted into. Near the end I had more to do.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was responsible for individual FSLIs as well as specific tasks within FSLIs. Perhaps I could have been given some more responsibility on some of my shorter jobs.

    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 skills I gained wont help me in my studies, as my degree doesnt relate to accounting/audit. However if I come back to the firm next year, all my skills will assist me greatly in my job.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Very chatty but also a desire to get things done.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well. I felt looked after all the time. My people's manager kept in contact all the time.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Quite a bit. They are constantly training/coaching me to deliver an excellent service to the client.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • 2/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • You can switch between service lines/offices. PwCs flexible nature as well as its support system make a future here appealing.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • For me, not so much as it was hard to meet up with people working in London.

    2/5

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

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Good. London clubs are great.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Not really, I probably wasn't there for long enough to experience that side.
