    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • There isn't a minute left idle. Every attempt is made to help you make the most of your time at PwC.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I was highly valued and looked after. My efforts are acknowledged and there is feedback at every step.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • For the non-assessed tasks, you do receive a lot of guidance on how to carry out the task and feedback regarding the performance of your group and everyone present.

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

    • The networking sessions really provide you with a lot of insight on how to plan your career. My degree studies wouldn't be very much affected by the insight but with regards to future qualifications and career path, I found out a lot of things google wouldn't be able to answer. Skills wise, I think I'm definitely stronger as a team player because you get to work in three different teams. I have probably enhanced my communication skills as well.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Everything is organised to the minute and it runs on time as well!

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • There is a strong contrast between the time spent on a task which is very focussed and the time spent networking and participating in the quiz.These are more relaxed, however there are Ice-breakers throughout the day to help everyone get to know each other.

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

    • They invest a lot on each individual and ensure you learn about the organisation, its people, and the work involved.

    5/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • At the networking events, many people from various roles and at various levels provided insight in to what their daily work is like but also what their career path has been.

    5/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • It was obvious from the mannerism of PwC employees that they had a very friendly culture as if they were a family.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • There was a task designed to give you insight in to every field at PwC. Whichever task you performed better in would indicate your career path choice.

    5/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Everyday so many people made time to come and talk to us and discuss their careers with us.

    5/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Networking was 10/10 but with regards to socialising, the talent academy is only three days long thus only the first night has a fun and interactive quiz for the students to get to know each other.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • You get to find out a lot about how PwC employees maintain a work-life balance.

    5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • If you want to know more about the organisation, then this is the best opportunity.
