The Role
Fantastic insight into what it is to audit at PwC. I was given far more responsibility than I expected which was fantastic, and undertook many opportunities to see what more senior individuals within PwC do.
As above, I was given many responsibilities early on, and my colleagues aided me wherever possible.
Always ensured I was comortable and confident with what I was doing, also provided very usefull feedback.
Some weeks were very busy, others quite relaxed depending on the audit team and the sign-off date.
Liasing with clientele, filling in aspects of the audit.
Due to my accounting degree, i felt i noticed how i could apply the skills learnt there in my work at PwC, rather than the other way around.
The Company
Team away days, friendly colleagues etc made it a great place to be.
Very well set out
Constant training and coaching, which no doubt required a great deal of investment by PwC
Company Car
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Their investment in people makes it highly lucrative
The Culture
n/a
Right in the middle of Bristol
Joined team away days, which were a great way to meet people outside of a work context
