The Role
I have had really enjoyed my internship at PwC, I have met some amazing people and made strong bonds with my colleagues.
I felt as though I was a crucial member of majority of the teams I worked with. I did not feel excluded and that I was being patronised because I was an intern.
The advice and amount of resources at PwC is amazing. Everyone is keen to help, not only management.
I have had days were I can't complete all my assignments because I have a heavy work load. However I have also had days were I have had nothing to do and so I do feel that balancing the workload is an area to improve on.
I was given a lot of responsibility as I was able to liase with clients by myself and carry out majority of the tasks alone. This indepedence was helpful because I worked in teams with a lot of senior associates were I was able to seek advice, when I was stuck on a piece of work.
I believe that the internship has made me work more efficiently and it has improved my ability to produce high quality work. This is something that is going to benefit me when I go back to my third year of university, when revising for exams and carrying out coursework.
The Company
Everyone is really friendly and keen to help, especially to those who ask for it.
We got off to a slow start but after the first day everything was really well organised and it was truely a great experience.
The company invests a lot into you and provides really good training, which is also a lot of fun.

I would 100% accept a job offer from PwC, if offered.
