    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed the experience of travelling to Birmingham for PwC's Talent Academy in Tax. I found it very valuable to hear about the experiences of the representatives during various sessions and the networking dinner. Everyone was very willing to share their story and background with me, which I really appreciated.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I remember one person working on student recruitment taking the time to remember by name and face, which I thought was very considerate. However, after the academy, I had sent an email in about my request to switch lines when being considered for a Summer Internship the next year to which I never received a reply.

    2/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Apart from general guidance given to everyone via presentation or via handout pack, I don't believe there was very much guidance individually.

    2/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I think I bettered my presentation skills and learned how important commercial awareness was. I did not gain any new skill or understanding.
