    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • It was enjoyable, everyone was really friendly and the induction week was good fun.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Quit valued. I was given imporant work by my colleagues from the get-go

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Any questions that I had were answered!

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Fairly busy. There was some downtime but also a lot of times where I had a lot to do.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a reasonable amount of responsibility. Every piece of client work that I did was reviewed, but that is the case for everyone at PwC not just interns!

    3/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • There was nothing I learned that will be particuarly relevant towards studying for my degree.

    2/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Surprisingly good fun! Everyone was very friendly and approachable.

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The induction week was very well organised, with every minute of it planned out. But the actual internship in my department was less well organised, but this is due to the unpredicable nature of the work rather than a reflection on the department itself.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Clearly PwC care a lot about their interns, and this is reflected in the huge lengths that they go to to set up the 3-day induction in a hotel that all of the interns nationwide attend.

    5/5

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

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    3/5

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • Very.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement 西瓜视频s/colleagues?
  • Yes, amongst fellow interns you have to (and should) organise things yourself.

    4/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • Leeds is pretty cheap.

    4/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • The nightlife in Leeds is pretty good, and there is music that will cater to all tastes.

    4/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • A few networking opportunities were available as well as some after-work drinks. There are also football and netball teams.
