I've really enjoyed my internship so far; I've got the chance to work in lots of different areas of Management Consulting and met some lovely and inspirational people.

I felt very valued particularly by the people that I worked closely with. Once they realised I was not completely incompetent, they trusted me to carry out more important work that required more independent thought. However, some of the other team members occassionally used me as just a note-taker, which is obviously fine but didn't feel that useful.

Loads and loads of support - about how to get the most out of my internship, of how to achieve my personal goals (from line managers, people managers, buddies, colleagues, other managers, PAs etc.), lots of networking help, support with work, advice etc. Super super usefful

For the first few weeks I was consistently busy, but after that it varied - when it got busy it got really really busy and I had plenty to do, but there were some days when there was not that much on. However this was good as it allowed me to offer to help other people so that I could learn about different areas of the business, take advantage of networking opportunities etc. I was also aware that there was always ongoing work that I could come back to.

A considerable amount - I was allowed to produce material for clients, and my responsibilities increased as time went on (particularly as my boss went on holiday!) Initially it was mainly work that was important but mechanical e.g. spreadsheets/creating powerpoints and did not require much independent thought; but after a time I was allowed to write important bulletins. I still had to do plenty of e.g. Excel work that was sort of mundane but was still important.

I don't think they would be very relevant to my degree, but I did learn many important skills: networking, writing formally, professionalism when dealing with clients and colleagues, technical skills particularly MS Excel and Project, even just the ability to make an edit notes, and produce professional documents will all hopefully prove very useful in the future.

Very welcoming - I was part of a great team, both in the office and on my project (most of my project team were from the London office). Everyone was extremely happy to help me out with networking and careers stuff as well as technical skills etc. and I was invited to loads of great socials. Lovely people.

Very organised - nice to attend training with all other interns from PwC including all areas and regions at the beginning, well-organised People Manager support, had clearly thought through the potential roles I could be playing, work had been planned for me, and there were continual layers of support/things for me to do.

In terms of improving my personal networking skills etc., yes they did help out a lot. In terms of new technical knowledge, professionalism, new skills etc. this was all sort of incidentally learned on the job - which was good and useful but not formally something the company invested in. The training I attended didn't feel particularly useful - mostly team-building stuff, so great for socials/networking but didn't really learn many new skills.

I would definitely love to work here in the future - it's a great place and I highly approve of the culture and diversity here. I've yet to decide whether Management Consulting is definitely the way forward, but I'm pretty sure if it is, it will be here or somewhere similar.

Yes - amongst both. It was great being part of a very large team who were all away from home four days a week so very keen to socialise, and the other interns were very lovely too. Lots of meals, going out etc.

I was living at home so living costs were super cheap. Same with socialising, and most team meals etc. were on expenses, so that worked out well. Birmingham is not the cheapest place in the world but it worked well for me!

Can't really answer this question as I don't really go out because I don't drink.

Yes, there were many socials to take part in and a Dragon's Den challenge too - it was a shame there wasn't more time to do the latter though!
