    The Role

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

    • My time at PwC has been thoroughly enjoyable - only reason to not deserve a score of 10 is that I did have to do several very long commutes that were very tiring (however were a good learning experience of a realistic working week).

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

    • My colleagues were hugely helpful and were more than happy to integrate me into the team and provide useful advice - they were always patient and approachable!

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

    • I did get support from management and always felt that I had someone to go to with questions. It was very helpful to have a buddy who I could go to with more informal questions.

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

    • Depended very much on the job that I was on - in some jobs I was busy all the time and in others there was much more ebb and flow to the work stream.

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

    • I felt like I was given much responsibility - this was very much appreciated and made me feel valued and part of the team.

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

    • I genuinely feel like I have learnt a huge amount in 6 weeks - I have had to get to grips with PwC software and huge amount of new information. I believe the skills and confidence that I take away from the internship will set me up for a strong start to my future career.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Everyone was very welcoming - it was very helpful to have a buddy as a friendly face in the earlier stages. Being able to attend the Ascot with the office was a big bonus - we felt very welcome to the team.

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

    • My only comment would be that there did seem to be a lack of organisation in the early stages. In particular welcoming us to the office on the first day, it did seem that we were not expected!

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The firm did invest much in us in terms of our 3 day residential training and the sheer volume of time spent with clients, supervisors and colleagues on the jobs that we were on. I felt i learnt much and definitely developed.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Company Parties/Events

    Working from home

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I would love to work with PwC - I have had a very positive experience here.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Within our group we were very social - having a strong social support among my fellow interns made the process hugely more enjoyable.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Reading was not too expensive.

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

    • We enjoyed drinks after work.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not a huge amount - but I believe this was due to the time of year and the length of time we were here.
