  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • Not too much since within deals the work is either confidential or too high level. I was given two research tasks to do and one where I had to calculate financial ratios of a few firms and create a slide which was good. The intern purpose challenge was a good way of getting us interns stuck into the full lifecycle of a piece of work.

  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

    • Not as much structure in terms of formal training however if I ever had a question about anything everyone was super friendly and always willing to help.

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from your line manager?

    • 3/5
  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

    • 5/5

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

    • The culture was amazing, ive honestly made such genuine relationships with the people in such a short span of time. This allowed me to really enjoy time spent in the office. The offices themselves are really nice too. People definitely work long hours though, most of my immediate team ate lunch at their desks and most people stay past 5.30pm everyday. However the benefits of flexible working make this not so bad.

  • How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

    • 5/5
  • How would you rate the social opportunities?

    • 5/5
  • How would you rate the diversity initiatives?

    • 5/5
  • How would you rate the charity, sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives?

    • 5/5

    • I definitely enjoyed my internship alot.

    • 5/5
  • 7. Would you recommend PwC to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to PwC

    • The huge corporate environment and reputation of intense work may make the firm seem daunting however no need to worry since the amazing culture and friendly nature of everyone makes it an amazing place to be. I will definitely miss this place as I go back to university.
