The Role
The internship was good fun, it started well with a training programme in a nice hotel. PwC continue to treat you well throughout the internship with occasional lunches, however it was the people who made the internship. Everyone is incredibly patient with you, sociable and enthusiastic which made it a very enjoyable pace to work.
Always felt valued by colleagues.
Whenever it was needed they would always find a minute to go through your issue.
Reasonably, where it was possible supervisors always gave me any relevant work.
Given plenty of tasks, however understandably in such a sensitive environment my work was double checked.
Extremely, the experience gave me the knowledge required to ease into a graduate role in the company.
The Company
Always something to do, generally people were happy to go for drinks, there were football matches etc to get involved with the office.
Very well set up you always knew who was in charge of you and who to ask if you were lost.
Time, money, perks. PwC spoilt us on the internship.
Waiting on a final interview to hopefully secure a career within the firm.
The Culture
Always, even between different offices.
In London so obviously not very cheap.
Good but at a cost
Every other week there were usually things going on.
