    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Working at PwC was an amazing learning experience, providing insight into the world of tax, especially as I was part of a really helpful and flexible team.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Even though we were present for only six weeks, but we were not restricted from attending any meetings or participate in any task, even joining the summer party!!

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Everyone in our team was very approachable and welcomed any queries. the fact that we were assigned a peoples manager and a buddy especially helped a lot as innitially when you're new you tend to avoid approaching your colleagues for trivial issues and the buddy proved really helpful in this situation, while the people manager was able to give a clear direction to our internship.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was Busy every single day of the internship and there was always some task to do at hand. Just before finishing with a task I would just ask for another one before hand and would have one assigned immediately.

    5/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was able to work on live client projects, attend weekly meetings and ongoing trainings as well as shadaow a client call and follow up on it and thus I would say you get a considerable amount of responsibility considering you're still an intern.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • As I am an engineering 西瓜视频, my degree is in no way related to Tax and hence its a pity that the training I recieved would not be able to asisst me in my studies altough it would help me immensely if I was to join the firm upon getting an offer, which I would love to do!

    3/5

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I was quite impressed by how well the internship was structured with a whole week dedicated for induction and then the fact that we laid out our aims and objectives in the beggning, concentrating more on areas we had focused on in our aims and objectives, through continous feedback.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • PwC does not compromise in investing on its employees and this may be evident by the fact that we were provided with a three day residential induction funded by the company right at the start of our internship, while through out our time at the firm we were able to utilise all facilities that are provided to the regular employees, in some casses having even more benefits such as a better laptop model.

  • Right from the start of the internship we were introduced to different activities such as the Dragons Den where different teams were asked to provide ideas on improvement of the NHS while successful ideas were processed further.
