    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed working at PwC this summer and think it was an invaluable experience.

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

    • To evaluate our performance during the internship we requested feedback from those who we worked with, this helped me to feel valued and also to gain insight into the areas in which I could develop in the future.

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

    • I was lucky to have a very good mentor for the majority of my time with PwC, they were very willing to help and provide experiences that could help me to develop my objectives.

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

    • Some days were very busy, others were quiet but I think this is fairly typical of Management Consultancy work

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given the responsibility to go and meet a client on my own on a couple of occasions- scary but a good experience.

    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 training consisted of mainly 'on the job' development and some online training which was useful. I think that there is much more thorough training at the beginning of the graduate scheme.

    3/5

    The Company

    • Really great atmosphere and lovely people throughout the firm

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

    • I was lucky to be put on a project straight away for the duration of my internship.

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

    • I feel the firm invested a lot in the time I spent with them as they were willing to pay for my expenses to work away from my base office on a daily basis. Everyone in the firm was also very willing to give up their time, even when busy, to have a chat about their role which provided great insight.

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Parties/Events
