    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I overall really enjoyed my time working at PwC. I was assigned a very interesting and engaging operations project. With this, I was given plenty of responsibility. I valued my colleagues and enjoyed working with them.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I think they really appreciated what I did for them, and they definitely let me know it. I really enjoyed bonding with them on a personal level, in addition to just over work topics.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My personal managers were both quite good, but I did not get many opportunities to work with the higher ups on my own project.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • My particular project team was quite fun. The actual PwC office is more corporate, but still quite friendly and relaxed.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Following our residential induction, there was little guidance. However, help was available if needed.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I thought it was the right amount of residential training and on the job training - as per PwC's 70/20/10 model.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would really like to work for PwC in the future! No firm is perfect, but I think they have the right balance of good people, interesting work, and work/life balance.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I believe there was, but being on client side 4/5 days a week, I struggled to get involved. That said, I did make friends.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • It's London... not much more to say. Expensive, but used to it from uni.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • One can do anything they'd like to in London.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I know that opportunities do exist, but I wasn't really told much about them and did not participate myself.
