    The Role

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

    • The internship was good fun, it started well with a training programme in a nice hotel. PwC continue to treat you well throughout the internship with occasional lunches, however it was the people who made the internship. Everyone is incredibly patient with you, sociable and enthusiastic which made it a very enjoyable pace to work.

    • Given plenty of tasks, however understandably in such a sensitive environment my work was double checked.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Extremely, the experience gave me the knowledge required to ease into a graduate role in the company.
