    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Very much enjoyed my time at PwC in the Risk Assurance department. Very friendly team and lots of help and support throughout my time with the company.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • Felt very valued almost 9 times out of 10. The teams that I worked with always ensured I was busy and there was never a dull moment. I felt as if I was given important tasks that required me to take ownership and step out of my comfort zone, but with the right support in place to ensure I was comfortable in my role.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My supervisors and and colleagues were extremely helpful throughout my time. The phrase 'no question is a stupid question' definitely holds true at PwC. I always felt full support from my team throughout.

    5/5

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given lots of responsibility from the offset. In some cases I felt slightly challenged, but on reflection this was definitely beneficial for me and I feel like I learnt a lot.
