    About You

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

    • I was at the PwC talent academy and it was definitely one of the most useful experiences I have ever had! It was what it should be - challenging, exciting, extraordinary! I give 9 stars because I think some speeches should have been reduced.

    • The event was really well organized, however, it was more orientated as for students to get to know the company. In addition, the most important thing for me was fulfilled, which was the fact that they showed us how to be prepared for all the assessed activities.
