PwC Talent Academy Review

My time with PwC gave me a great experience and insight into careers within the company. We were extremely well looked after, with meals and accommodation provided. I made many friends and found the experience very valuable. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the insight and would jump at the opportunity to work with PwC again.

Every input was welcomed with a smile which made me feel valued and encouraged me to get involved more. Everyone was interested in what you had to say and as a result you felt like a valued member of the group. They were very enthusiastic about youth being a channel to expanding the company.

The employees of PwC provided us with all the information we needed to gain a good understanding of the different roles within the company and to make an informed decision on the path we would like to take within PwC. They were very friendly and happy to answer any questions.

I learned and developed communication skills through a team debate which was delivered to the whole group. This will really help when presenting answers in lectures and seminars. I also learned a lot about PwC and different aspects of the company, many I did not understand before the insight. This will allow me to make an informed decision on my future career.

When we arrived we were provided with a personal timetable for the insight, so everyone knew where they had to be at all stages. We were split into groups of five or six, which allowed individual needs to be met. It was also very useful that we were separated into different groups for each aspect of the insight, so we met as many people as possible. Overall, I was very impressed with how organised and structured it was.

Everyone was very friendly and genuinely happy to be there. The atmosphere was welcoming and as a result we were enthusiastic to make the most of our experience. I found the staff approachable and happy to help at every opportunity. I made many friends and acquaintances, all of whom were easy to talk to.

The company had many representatives from each department present to talk to us in small groups. They also provided accommodation and meals throughout the experience and were willing to reimburse up to £150 0f expenses. They gave us a lot of PwC merchandise, including hoodies, a water bottle and books.

The large number of employees present were able to provide a full picture of working with PwC. The presentations also included videos from workers within the company describing their day-to-day working life, which gave a great insight into working full time within PwC. It was a really valuable experience to get a grasp of what working is really like.

The range of employees at different stages in their careers that we came in contact with gave us a full picture of PwC.

We were provided with information on all the main divisions of PwC which was extremely useful.

PwC were willing to reimburse up to £150 of expenses.

There were company employees from each department present to give you an insight into their department. There was also a dinner during which you were sitting on a table with two partners in departments of your interest. It was a brilliant opportunity to have questions on all aspects of PwC answered.

There were many opportunities to network with current employees at all stages of their careers and to make new friends while doing so.

We had dinner with partners in the company on one of the nights. This allowed us to ask questions on all aspects of PwC- both social and work related. The representatives from each department were also able to tell us about social events each area of PwC have, for example social events one day each month.

I found this experience extremely valuable and I know a lot more about opportunities within PwC than I did before. It was also very enjoyable and a great insight to be able to talk about in an interview or write on a CV. I cannot recommend this enough! A real kick-start to your career!
