    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my placement. I got the opportunity to express myself and learn in different areas. Everyone was so nice and friendly to me which really helped me settle in.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt as if I had been working in PwC for years as everyone treated me as if they knew me from day one.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • In PwC, there are many different managers that you have a connection with. People Manager and Line manager to name a few but it doesn't stop there. They were always there whenever I was in difficulty and just whenever I needed someone to talk to on a personal note.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was really busy. The first few weeks were quite slow but this was expected. As time went on, more and more work came my way. It was fantastic as I got to experience what full time work was like and also made the day go in a lot quicker.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was really shocked at how much responsibility I was given. During the first half of placement, responsibility was limited but once I got on a new role, things started to move quicker. I was the direct point of contact on the project so I got involved in quite a lot of work.

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

    • They really helped me. The first six weeks in PwC, we got to learn a lot of different skills and programs such as Java and other project management skills. These certainly helped me in going into final year at university.

    5/5

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

    • At first I didn't think it was great as it took me a while for work to come my way. As time went on, things started to take shape nicely.

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