Intern Review

I would attend calls with my mentor regarding their above and beyond projects. I proactively messaged different employees from PwC so I could explore different areas of Management Consulting and listening to some of the projects they worked on and their journey at PwC. My colleague and I worked on a project, daily, where we corrected the formatting and its presentation so it would be ready for delivery.

I developed new software skills such as understanding the use of Canva further. I developed my existing skills regarding the use of Google, I was able to send a Google Meet invitation to an associate I wanted to communicate with. My virtual communication and teamwork skills definitely improved as I worked well with my fellow women in business colleague. My back on back meetings led to my time management skills improving to ensure good punctuality

It was the most exciting experience! I was able to understand the flexibility there is within consulting at PwC, how employees can explore G&HI, finance and student recruitment during their time at this firm. It allowed me to understand the extensive support PwC provides to their employees as well as flexibility. The roles allow you to do projects that you are interested in which is definitely a plus!

I loved how friendly the environment was! I felt very comfortable during the whole experience as my mentor, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions], made me feel extremely comfortable and confident in what I was doing. She constantly involved me in calls and meetings and therefore I felt very included. Also just generally watching the different employees at PwC communicating in a very friendly manner was lovely to see, there was not a sense of fear or superiority.

I extremely enjoyed the insight programme and this has been one of the best experiences of my life! I am so happy that I applied for this insight because I was able to gain an incredible amount of knowledge towards the workings inside PwC and the treatment towards their employees. It was a very inclusive culture and I would definitely love to work here in the future.

Yes

I would advise them to be themselves and resilient. The process may appear long however the experience is definitely worth it therefore they should preserve and work hard within the whole application process. I would tell them to research the firm so they can understand more about what they do and understand the values that they hold- this would also be so they understand whether they feel compatible to the firm as well.
