    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I really enjoyed the internship to the extent that I am very excited about the possibility of being invited back for a graduate position.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt very valued. Despite my lack of technical knowledge (my university background isn't job-relevant) I was still asked to complete important tasks for the team - this meant I felt valued by my colleagues.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • The support and guidance was incredible. All interns are given a buddy and a people manager which means before you even start you have a varied support network. You're also coached on the job by your colleagues and their guidance is of a very high standard.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I had enough to do each day in order to minimalise down periods and boredom, I was also never rushed to get anything done before pressured deadlines.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • A lot. This aspect of the internship suprised me a great deal. 2 weeks into the internship I began working at a client site and this meant that I was already an ambassador for PwC. During this work on the client site I spoke to the clients myself, often independently, which I believe is big responsibility for any new joiner and especially for an intern.

    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 skill I developed that will be most relevant for my future is communication. I have had to learn how to speak to clients clearly and professionally. I believe the internship has made me a more confident person generally speaking and also as a communicator.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Relaxed. There is no set lunch hour, you get food when you want. Fridays are dress down days so you can dress casually. You can also arrive/leave the office whenever you like as long your work is getting finished. My colleagues in the office have been incredibly helpful and welcoming too, furthering the relaxed atmosphere.

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Everything ran smoothly, I can't fault the set up at all.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The entire first week is dedicated to preparing you for the job. Considering the internship is only 6 weeks long I believe that a week of training is a big investment by the firm to train all of the interns.

    5/5

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

    5/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very. My experiences on the internship would be enough to keep me happy in a full time position but my understanding is that the job will only improve on the graduate scheme.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • Not really relevant - I was the only intern for my office. Although the first 3 days of the training are residential and so I stayed in a hotel with all of the other interns from across the country - this was incredibly social.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Norwich is a fairly cheap city in terms of costs of living and social costs.

    5/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • Good.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • I spent the majority of my internship away from the office, at a client, so not entirely relevant.
