    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • There were many employees around, who were all very happy to talk with us and to answer any questions. I felt that they were prepared to invest time and resources in us.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The sessions helped us to gain the skills needed to be successful in an interview, as well as gain a better idea of what I wanted from my career.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Although not directly related to my studies, the activities allowed me to improve other transferable skills, including communication and teamwork. The networking opportunities were also invaluable.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The plans for the day were made clear to us and timings were kept to. Although there was a lot of content, there were also well-placed breaks.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Other participants and employees were friendly and enthusiastic, though there was a decrease in enthusiasm as the day went on.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The debate and commercial awareness sessions were particularly of interest to me, as they helped me to learn more about what employees are looking for and to learn ideas from other participants.

    4/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • There were so many opportunities to talk to a range of employees, from partners to graduates. I feel that I now have a good understanding of what it is like to work at PwC, and how my experiences could change I progress.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • The presentation gave us a better idea of the company culture and speaking with employees was also important; it allowed me to consider whether I would fit in with their culture and be suited to it.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I felt that insight days at other Big Four companies did a much better job of explaining the service lines, as there was only a short presentation regarding them. Nevertheless, it still gave me a better idea of whether I would want to work at PwC.

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I filled out a form to be reimbursed with travel expenses.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • There was a dinner and employees gave their time to come and speak to us during lunch breaks.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The dinner was a great opportunity, as employees ate with us in a relaxed setting, openly answering our questions but also just having conversations.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Employees told us about charity work that they are encouraged to do and social activities that are organised.

    4/5

  • This was a great opportunity to find out more about a leading company in the industry.
