    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed my internship form start to finish. It started with a 3 day induction in Windsor. This was a highlight for me as it helped us to network with other interns and we were being paid for it! From day one in the office i got involved with real projects and there was never a dull day with such a variety of work and i even got to go on a client meeting.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt highly valued by my colleagues despite being an intern. I was given a variety of different tasks from colleagues all over my department, giving me a real sense of responsibility and self worth in the team.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Support was available whenever I needed it. PWC use google hangouts as a form of communication in the office, making it easy to contact anyone in the company. Also, everyone is very approachable and are on hand if you need assistance.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • My daily schedule would often vary so i did tend to be busier on some days compared to others. However, if i did find myself with nothing to do there would always be someone willing to delegate me work.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given lots of responsibility during my placement. For instance, I had deadlines to meet, meetings to attend and multiple projects at once. Most tasks were independent but my buddy/other colleagues were always at hand if i has any questions.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • During the induction we received a training on our relevant field. This really to helped me understand relevant terminology that i would use throughout my internship and how to use the systems at PWC. These skills I learnt are definitely transferable and i'm sure will provide useful in the near future.

    5/5

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