    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I have significantly enjoyed working in my summer internship, the company provides a programme that allows us as interns to get a strong insight of what the company does and how they do business. I've been participating in a project where i get exposure to the client,I found this fascinating as I am carrying out on-the-job learning. Moreover I have received lots of support from part of the PwC team. All this leading to my self-development, and feeling I am actually creating a positive impact with the work I am completing.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I feel very valued. Team dynamics and spirit has been very important during our project. At work my colleagues are constantly guiding me and giving me advice about how to interact with the client and how to create work at the quality of PwC. Socials are also an important aspect as they help create bonds within the team.

    The Company

    4/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • Very organised, i feel that the whole programme is very well structured, you know what is the process since the begin and you are constantly guided through it, as well as receive feedback of your progress. However because consulting is project-based the organisation depends on the projects available, so in terms of what project you will work in and what you are going to do took a week to get it running,
