    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was taken back by the amount of independence I was given during the internship. The staff and clients trusted me enough to hand me tasks that were not only important, but also had fast approaching deadlines. I had the chance to work alongside associates on important tasks too.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • There was more support/guidance than I even needed. There was always someone that was readily available to have a chat with or ping a question to. PwC did not skimp on providing support throughout the whole experience

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

  • 5/5

  • How would you rate the social opportunities?
  • 5/5

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I would rate my internship 5/5 and even more if I could. Before applying to PwC, I did not even think it would be this friendly and inclusive for an intern who is coming for 6 weeks. But, I was treated like I had been there for years and I was treated as an equal.

  • Please rate the future employment prospects at PwC
  • 5/5

  • 7. Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
  • Don't be afraid to apply to the role you want. PwC are not strict on academic achievement as they want to know the type of person you are and if you would fit into the people-friendly atmosphere at PwC. Try to be positive and upbeat during the application and most of all be honest.
