    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Really enjoyed my time at PwC, having the opportunity to work on a variety of different roles has been really insightful. Also being sent to London for 2 weeks was also an added bonus which I really enjoyed.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I really felt a part of the team while here. Often very senior members of the team would take time to talk to me and have catch ups with me which was really appreciated. Additionally, I was given actual tasks which I was relied on for, which made me feel like I was actually part of a team rather than just someone in the way.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • I was given lots of support and opportunities by my career coach, discussing my short and long term future at PwC and what opportunities are available.

    4/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I think that as a whole I was kept busy and had stuff to do, however at the end of the day, I am an untrained intern, so there is only so many jobs I can do. However, overall I was satisfied with the work I had to do.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I felt that especially towards the end, I was put on a project which I did the lions share of the work. My manager supervised me alot, however in order for me to learn, allowed me to do most of the tasks which was really useful.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills I have picked up on various softwares such as tableau and alteryx are all skills I would not have naturally picked up or found had I not worked here, so overall very happy with what I have picked up.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • Very friendly, truly felt I could put time in any member of staffs calendars in order to have a chat. Moreover, went on nearly all the socials which suggests that I liked the people in my office and had a great time!

    5/5

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • I think as a whole it was run quite well, they were quite flexible to extend my internship while I was here.

    4/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The one way that I really felt invested in, was on my trip to London my senior manager really went out of his way in order to get me work that would be insightful, which I was really grateful for.

    5/5

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

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • The initial batch of interns I joined with, many I am still speaking to now despite not working together for many weeks, so overall I have made some good friends with other joiners

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I think that being in the center of Birmingham it was never going to be cheap, however for socials, often some drinks were paid for which saved alot of money.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • I really enjoy the local pubs and clubs here in the city center

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • Events definitley came up, however I personally mainly did socials with the team and the other interns, however had I wanted to, the oppurtunities were there
