    The Role

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

    • I have definitely learned a lot about audit but the internship was not organised really well.

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

    • I did not have a set team to work with during my time at PwC therefore it was hard to get to know people. Also, lots of social events have been cancelled.

    2/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Everyone was usually keen to help.

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

    • On some days I did not have any work to do and had to go and ask around the office which was quite awkward. But there were times when I was given too many tasks and was expected to work longer hours.

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was pleasantly surprised about how much responsibility is given to interns.

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

    • It was a positive learning experience!

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • 4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The distribution of work was very badly organised. I have been assigned to a project but got told that there is no work that I can help with so I had to go and ask people around the office to give me stuff to do...

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Excellent 3 day training program in London at the start of the internship!

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

    • Company Parties/Events
    3/5

    • Most of summer interns get offered to join the Graduate Scheme.

    5/5

    • Average

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
