    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Great fun. Lots of different tasks to do from a variety of people in the team. I really enjoyed the shadowing days as they let you see a completely different aspect to working at PwC.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Everyone was really friendly and welcoming from day one. I have been positively surprised by how nice and helpful people are at PwC. During my time here I've really felt like a member of the instead of just an intern.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My buddy and people manager have been extremely helpful during my time here. They have always been willing to take time out of their busy schedules to answer any questions I've had. They have both treated me as a friend which has made this experience very comfortable for me.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I had a few days which no one had anything for me to do which is understandable as it's not that busy this time of year. However most of the time I had lots of different tasks to do from a variety of people.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I have been extremely impressed with how people have helped me take responsibility during my time here. I've been responsible for getting work off of people, for requesting feedback off of people and for organising socials. All of these have really helped with my confidence.

    5/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • It will really helped me with being organised and responsible for my learning at university. More importantly, these skills will come in useful when I join back as a graduate after university!

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The atmosphere in the Leeds office is always great. You can really tell that everyone in the team are good friends and enjoy each others company. Even when people seem stressed they are always cracking jokes and making others smile. There is an obvious abundance of trust between members of the team which creates a very laid back and friendly environment in the workplace.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I think the setup was very good at helping build you as a professional. The way it is organised forces you to take responsibility for your actions and work which I find much more helpful than having a set plan of what you're going to be doing on every day.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Firstly, PwC paid for us to go on a 3 day induction with free drinks and food provided. This clearly shows that they're interested in investing their time and money to make sure we have the best time during our internship. Whilst being in the office i have been given lots of training opportunities to better me as a professional.

    5/5

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

    National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Staff Sales/Staff Shop

    Working from home

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Today I have been told that I have an offer for a job with PwC after my third year of uni! The prospect of working here in the future is very very exciting and I can't wait to get started. I believe it's the best place to give me a head start in my career.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • We have been out for a few lunches during my time here and there have been a couple of organised socials. These were all really fun and showed how friendly people here are. On top of that people have been very social in going out for drinks after work on a Friday as friends instead of colleagues.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I lived at home whilst working here and the transport link into Leeds really isn't that expensive. There are plenty of places that are cheap near the office to socialise.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The Nightlife in Leeds is one of the best. A large variety of places to go and things to do.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • We went to the pub a few times after work. I am aware of socials in the future that are outside of working hours but they didn't fall into the time period that I'm at the firm for.
