    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the insight week. It was a great opportunity to really see what a job in Technology Risk would involve.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt very valued during my time. I was always invited into meetings if there was ever a spare moment and always had someone to go to lunch with. They invited me to the work quiz social which was great fun.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • I shadowed a different person every day. Majority of the employees guided me very well each day although a couple of employees had forgotten that I was shadowing them so had no plans for the day and left me alone for a period of time with no work to do.

    3/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • It was very interesting to observe meetings with so many members run so smoothly and I will definitely try and use those time management skills in my final year of uni.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I was very impressed that a laptop and email address was ready for me first thing on Monday. Other than one employee forgetting I was shadowing them, it was a very well structured week.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere of the office was very welcoming and I liked the fact the employees felt comfortable to take a couple of minutes from work to talk about things in the news.

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • As it was only a week long insight, there was not much opportunity in personal training or development. But the insight definitely improved my confidence in talking to new people.

    2/5

  • 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?
  • It was very insightful to what a full time role with the company would be like.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I think the company social was a great opportunity to really understand the company culture. As was the graduate induction presentations that I observed.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It was very interesting to understand what training and development opportunities there are at the company.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • I was paid and reimbursed for my travel to the Cardiff office.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • The social event was a great opportunity for networking.

    5/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Very well organised, I felt like a full time employee. I was also given the opportunity to visit another PwC office which meant I could network more.

    5/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Yes, I found out about the hockey team and the glee club.
