    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I was involved in two different projects at the same time which was fairly eye opening for me. The first project I did not really enjoy, however, the second which was more consulting based was much more enjoyable.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Usually after finishing work, and creating deliverables, my colleagues showed their appreciation.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Everyone within my team was extremely approachable whenever I needed to ask a question or needed help to finish an assignment.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Very project dependent, sometimes I would be busy for all the hours of the day, in others, they were some idle time.

    3/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Throughout both projects I completed tasks which went out directly to clients. As well as that my work was just like any other analysts work with the same pipeline and flow.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The internship was only 6 weeks so I don't think much of the technical skills has been transferred apart from maybe SQL. However, communication and soft skills has been a big advancement and practice.

    2/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Amazing team and my manager was very calm and collective. Approachable, calm and friendly atmosphere.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The overall setting up of laptop/software work was smooth with a few hiccups. The overall work placement could have been improved a bit more. For example there should be clear directions for projects that are going to be given to the intern with clear deliverables.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • I didn't really have any training of what work I needed to do. I was sort of thrown in the deep end and tried to learn through experience and the work.

    2/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Flexi Time

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    2/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very appealing, even though the starting salary could be improved in comparison to the competitors, there's a clear way of getting promoted with good bonuses.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • Yes, but nothing that PwC organised apart from the induction. The interns themselves planned many social events.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • London is expensive...Wish they paid more, I feel the pay is very bad for interns.

    2/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Living in London for the last 13 years so I know how great the nightlife is.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • I believe there are activities outside of work, but they were not well advertised. For example I did not know about any activities that any of the colleagues were involved in or did not get the chance to find out either.
