During my placement I have been encouraged to take on various responsibilities which myself and my colleagues feedback I have thrived in. Leading team wide calls on something I specialised in which was Requisition Building on Workday. Also doing sessions on Worksheets focusing on data quality and analytics. Within student recruitment I have been able to get involved in many events both online and in person too. A key responsibility throughout the year was supporting recruiters on a range of information. I was able to be flexible and adaptable on my placement excelling in my responsibilities.

The support and guidance from the team when I started was exponential. Everyone was welcoming and the training was performed to a high standard. Giving me the opportunity to learn about PwC as a whole in many LoS was good knowledge moving forward. I had a buddy and a career coach during my placement which provided guidance throughout. If I had questions or issues the team would always be available to engage. I would highly recommend PwC as a company and the employee's values within it

The culture at PwC is great focusing on many areas such as integrity, collaboration, leadership and diversity. Many opportunities are available to new joiners through networking and projects to get involved in. The culture is reinforced by the unbelievable support everyone offers through Buddys and Career Coaches. There is always amazing feedback given around the team and the platform Gems allowing members to praise each other

I highly enjoyed my placement because of the network I was able to expand in my team and outside into different Lines of services exploring possible graduate opportunities. I was given lots of responsibilities and support the entire 11 months. I even extended my placement to 13 months having adapted to the work environment after university.

Yes

When applying to PwC I would recommend finding a role and location that fits you best. Having a good motivation towards these is essential. There are many PwC employees across the UK to reach out to especially in the Student Recruitment team. On campus and online events are available to all students at many different ages - get involved into these!
