Overview
The first week consists of induction admin. From there you are provided a Buddy and Career Coach who shape your time at PwC by finding you work to shadow. You also participate in a Dragons Den scheme with other interns working in groups to address challenges for a social enterprise, which is then presented to the enterprise and PwC judges at the end of the program.
Skills
You learn digital skills, team-working skills, time management skills and organisational skills
Business Insight
It was incredibly helpful to learn about the different business units as this can help guide you on what you want to do in the future. However, in my experience I did not get as much first hand involvement as I would have liked.
Culture
The company culture and atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and friendly and happy to have you there. It's important to note that you have to be confident in asking for work / shadowing, and you might have to ask multiple times for this.
Your Impressions
Overall I had a great time and definitely plan on returning to the company. It would have been better if there were more opportunities to have more involvement in the work. That said, it was incredibly insightful and the networking opportunities are excellent. The company is very welcoming and relaxed.
Yes
Be confident and have an open mind. You may not be interested in a certain business unit but you might be surprised so it is worth exploring all possibilities and networks! Try and get in early if possible through spring insight or summer intern schemes. The company value you and are likely to keep you on for further opportunities if you prove your work ethic.
