    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I worked within Audit and realised it was not for me. The lower rating reflects this more than it reflects PwC or the people I worked with.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was given responsibility even within the internship and thanked for my efforts.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • They encouraged and answered any questions I had and they ensured I knew exactly what I was doing.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was mostly busy and had to stay longer due to tight deadlines, which is a part of the real job too, with the entire team working extra time.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given appropriate responsibility, but there is a limit to the responsibility they could place due to the nature of audit and the activities that need to be performed. For the most part the first time you complete an activity you need close assistance as it needs to be done in a certain way. The short length of an internship means that most of the activities I did were for the first time, so I couldn't be given responsibility over them.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I learned a lot about what I like and don't like within the world of work, as well as vastly improving my excel skills and learning what I did well and didn't do so well through useful feedback.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • The office was very friendly, everyone was approachable and willing to help and we had a laugh too.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very well organised, a clear structure of training and work.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Training days, feedback and assistance from colleagues meant I developed my skills quickly.

    4/5

  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?
  • Sports and Social Club

    Company Parties/Events

    4/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • I got the job, but as I am looking to switch location/service line I will need to have another final interview.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • I played football with colleagues after work, went to company socials and also went out with the other interns.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Bristol prices are good considering how nice it was in the area I worked.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Had a few great nights out in Bristol.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Subsidised sport events and social events, but there could have been more socials etc.

    4/5
