    The Role

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

    • The work I had to carry out was sometimes a bit dull and monotonous. I didn't really feel challenged at time and so felt under stimulated. The experience overall was quite useful and the people made it more enjoyable.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I feel my colleagues realised my limits as well as uses and so did value my contributions.

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

    • My line manager and people manager both always had time to talk to me regarding any issue I needed guidance with.

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

    • I often found myself looking for jobs to do with extended time periods doing nothing which did lead to a lot of boredom.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given quite a lot of responsibility, more than expected. My work was important to parts of the project succeeding.

    3/5
  • 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 developed and learned will be vital in further work and also with presentations and essays at University.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Extremely welcoming and friendly both in the Client Office and the PwC office.

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

    • Very well organised from start to finish. PwC couldn't have done more in this sense.

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

    • The company invested a lot of time in developing me as a person and not just using my time to make the firm money.

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

    • Sports and Social Club

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

    • Very appealing. A good salary and invaluable experience which is well regarded on a CV. The job also has a lot of variety which is very attractive.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Yes and with the office staff too. We were always invited to social events and usually attended. They were always fun!

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

    • The cost was certainly more expensive than at University but cheaper than some cities such as London.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The bars and clubs in the area were really good and there is a great variety, although not as much as there are in larger cities such as London.

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

    • Socially there was always opportunity to get involved. There was some sport offered but not a great deal within consulting. I'm sure this is available firm wide but I haven't come across this yet.
