    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my six weeks on the summer internship programme. I learnt a great deal and had fun while I did this.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • From day one, I was valued by my colleagues and treated with great respect. The team I was in was very small and personal which I particularly enjoyed. I was included in the team in both professional and social situations.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I found the guidance and support given to me by my people manager was brilliant. I had a meeting with her on my first day to help me think about my objectives for the internship and what I wanted to get out it. She gave me good ideas of what I wanted to achieve. Along with my other managers, she gave me guidance and was willing to help whenever I asked.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Overall I found the workload manageable. Some days I would have more work to do than others but that was inevitable. On days I was particularly busy, I learnt valuable time management skills!

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I felt I was given the correct level of responsibility. I was not 'thrown in at the deep end' on day one but was given more responsibility as my confidence and experience grew.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Got offered a job for after graduation! Even if I had not accepted the job offer the internship allowed me to greatly develop my employability skills in a work experience background, which I could no doubt apply to any job in the future.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • There was a very friendly atmosphere in the office. As it was a smaller office, it was nice that everyone knew each other and I felt comfortable going to talk to anyone.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The internship was very well organised. The three days spent at Latimer House were very well organised as were the general development days throughout the internship.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • PwC invest a huge amount of time, effort and money into their interns. They invest in technical development as well as personal development.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • There was a good social scene between the Interns at Latimer as well as a couple of social events organised by colleagues during my six weeks there.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
