  • 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?
  • There was nearly a whole afternoon dedicated to presentations and Q&A sessions with Pwc employees from different service lines. This ran over by almost an hour and in the end was slightly cut off so I fell more time could have been allocated to this session, yet it was still very helpful.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • The emphasis on company culture was very strong and each of the Pwc reprresentatives included this aspect as part of their presentation.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It was incredibly helpful, all the talks were very detailed. However, this was only insight, we weren't able to experience the sort of work done by Pwc.
