    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight was structured as planned and followed closely to the information given on PwC's website so we can expect what to learn and gain from the insight.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • Even though everyone was busy with their work and rushing for deadlines, they still managed to joke around and make conversations rather than solely working.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • Not much of personal training and development were given due to the length of working period I was there but nonetheless, my colleagues were willing to provide support whenever needed.

    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?
  • My colleagues and director brought me to the meetings with clients to expose me to the nature of work if I were to work with PwC in the future. They have also assigned me tasks on the project even though I was only there for a week and hence I understand my role in the company if I were to have a full time role with the firm.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I understand the trainings that will be given if I were to work in the company and the personal and remarkable trainings were one of the reasons I have decided that PwC was the company to work for.

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Yes I was paid for my tenure in PwC and the experience alone was more than adequate.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • I have only met the colleagues on my team and not the rest from other departments or other teams from different projects.

    3/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • There weren't any social event opportunities during my tenure and it could be because of the short period of time I was there.

    2/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • I wasn't able to ask the employees regarding the activities but I'm sure there are some competitions among other Big Four, just like Big Four in other countries.

    2/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would definitely recommend this insight to my friends as it was a useful and valuable experience to be able to work with the colleagues and understand the culture of working in this company.
