    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The Partner I shadowed during my insight week at PwC was really friendly and organised the week extremely well, allowing me to really get to know how it's like to work at PwC.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I did feel that they really wanted me to experience the company so that I will consider joining/applying for a graduate job after.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The analysts I shadowed shared their experiences and tips for applying for graduate jobs and what to do during the insight week which was really helpful.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • You learn a lot of people skills and networking skills.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • It was a bit confusing because PwC outsources certain things to another company so some emails were misleading and issued twice by both companies but once I got to PwC, it was extremely well organised.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Very professional yet friendly environment, everyone was keen to help me.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The internship was too short for their to be any training/development.

    3/5

  • 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?
  • It would have been good to shadow some other graduates rather than just the partner to actually get to know what sort of work they do.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I was based at the London office so I really got to know how the company culture was like there.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It was valuable to see what sort of work a partner at PwC would do because if that is not something that attracts me then I know I shouldn't apply for a position there.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • I was paid for the week and any transportation fees with the partner was paid by her.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Yes I got to meet everyone the partner was working with and even got to go to a client pitch.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Not really, I was only shadowing a female partner so there wasn't any social events that I attended but I got to meet everyone she was working with.

    3/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, someone showed me their Spark network and told me that there are many clubs/societies that I can join.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • It's definitely worth it, it only takes out a week of your holiday and you get paid. There isn't any normal intern work, it's just more of a way to get to know the company and PwC's culture.

    4/5
