    The Role

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

    • Great company with a fantastic ethos and work atmosphere.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Valued most of the time. Being on an internship, my short time there meant I could have been valued more on some more complex tasks.

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

    • The support and guidance varied according the the person, but was really good from the majority of people. From the people closest on my team I was given a lot of support

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I always had things to do. If it wasn't client/project work, there were other tasks to be doing as an intern. This was really appreciated.

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

    • Quite a lot. It varied from being given the responsibility of building a model which was then sent out to a client to just doing admin tasks.

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

    • There was loads of room to improve hard skills eg excel and powerpoint, as well as soft skills like people skills with the client. PwC was really open to us setting up our own presentation sharing session.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The team was great and this meant we could always have jokes. Being on client site, we did have to remain professional, but this was not dull.

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

    • Very well organised, from the meticulously planned hotel induction right through the projects we were allocated on. I think they could have organised more social events at night for the interns to meet other people.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • They invested a lot of time and money into their interns. This was shown through various days set up as well as the hotel induction.

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

    • Sports and Social Club
    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Have been offered a job and will more than happily take it.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • It was good, we did quite a lot. However we organised this ourselves - whilst PwC strongly encouraged a good social scene, the company could have helped us set up more itself.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I lived at home so I was lucky. Transport and bars were expensive though!

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

    • Really good - there were loads of places.

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

    • There was loads, from sport to bars to community days.
