My role includes managing the daily trackers and sending out emails of the documents that we need, liaising with the client. I work in the Digital Audit section and I have worked on the S of D control. i enjoyed my time there because I have learnt a lot about new software and the ERP softwares that the clients use such as SAP and Oracle. I have learnt new things which makes me feel good.
Daily tasks included confirmation of addresses and emails, composition of letters of confirmation, sending out the emails, summary of contracts and minutes of meetings. Internal interactions included accomplishing numerous trainings and e-learnings as well as daily interaction with auditors and senior associates.

I have participated in a number of projects for such clients as Pepsi Co, Hundai, Melon Fashion Group, L'Oreal and Beko.
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at PwC! Coming from a non-tech background, I was eager to kickstart my career in technology but I was doubtful about my lack of technical skills. PwC really helped me build my confidence by giving me access to online courses to train and build up all technical skills needed for the role, ranging from coding in Python, to web development with HTML/CSS, to mapping out business processes using BPMN. I was also very lucky to work with great people which made the experience even more enjoyable!
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement with varied opportunities for travel and different work in different teams. I had the opportunity to undertake training, give training later in the year and to attend social events to get to know my team better and I was able to raise any concerns about moving projects to get a lot of exposure to different types of projects that the firm undertakes. I had a great year and would return.
I enjoyed my placement at PwC to a great extent. Having the opportunity to work for such a prestigious company was a great experience, from the highly professional facilities to the excellent staff members you meet, there was much to be pleased with. As an intern, I felt valued as a colleague and I was provided with a multitude of opportunities to develop my skills. This will certainly benefit me in my degree studies and future career path.

I had amazing time travelling, making new groups of friends.
I enjoyed my work placement with PwC quite a lot. I gained insight into the various teams at PwC such as tax and deals but I was also able to gain more specific knowledge in the area of work that I was interested in, which was auditing. It was also great to see the interactions between the different departments of work.
My work placement within PwC in Belfast, was in one word: Amazing. On Day 1 of working with the firm within Forensics, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. Showing me the ropes and always willing to lend a hand and support me in a time of need. During my placement, I forged a strong bond within the Forensics Lab in Belfast, quite instantly and this helped me settle into a new environment faster than I anticipated. I managed to work on more then 4 Projects and this allowed me to work alongside the wider team in Forensics and interact with everyone and not just the team in Belfast. But London, Birmingham, New York, Kolkata etc.
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at PwC. I was nervous due to the large reputation and I always assumed it would be incredibly competitive but the people have been so approachable and welcoming. I was able to expand my knowledge and learn many skills. The competitive environment was encouraging.
The placement was really good. You get treated like a first year graduate which is nice - they put you through college so you can study towards accountancy exams and really support you in the process. It can be quite long hours at times but overall i really enjoyed it
Really valuable skills learnt, and coming straight from uni there is a lot of social things going on. The intake is huge, full of people who have just finished uni and are in the same position.
I would say I have enjoyed my placement year here at PwC (11 months in total). I have made some great friends who I have already made to plans to see after this placement has finished. I found the work challenging but also rewarding with the PwC experience on my CV.

I have really enjoyed my year at PwC, we were given training straight away when we joined so there wasn't any menial tasks like making coffee or photocopying so we got to take part in meaningful work quite quickly and there is a strong preference towards learning on the job and having a go at it. We also started the ACA exams quite early on so we were kept busy right from the start
From the beginning to end I greatly enjoyed working with PwC. The introduction and training allowed me to settled into my role really quickly in order to give me the skills to complete my job within my project. When put into my project all my colleagues were so helpful and allowed me to gain confidence in errors that I would of struggled with.
It was very good, I was straight into completing work for internal and external clients so wasn't wasting any time doing silly tasks. I was also given loads of opportunities to complete training in new softwares along with developing my knowledge in a number of programming languages which will benefit me in final year.
I jumped at the chance to partake in my short yet enjoyable internship at PwC as an audit intern. The experience taught me a lot about the workings of PwC as a company and gave me the opportunity to work out what it is like as an employee as I met many employees who had been working for PwC for many years
