    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • This was an extremely long day but well thought out by PwC! I enjoyed the different activities that we got to work on within a team!

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • It felt a little mechanical to the extent that the staff had done this plenty of times before and that it may have lost its zeal, so I didn't quite feel valued as such.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • We had a little guidance after the team activities and through presentations about the business.

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

    • I would say that it gave me a clearer picture of where I want to direct my career path in the future.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very very well structured. To the extent that you could tell that they've been running it for years.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • The atmosphere was okay. I felt that towards the beginning it was a little intense not knowing all the other delegates but this eased off towards the end of the day.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • The firm invested in us by not only providing us lunch, but also through numerous presentations by senior members of staff which was really insightful.

    4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • Unfortunately due to it only being a 1 day experience, I did not get a good idea about what it would be like to have a full time role with the company.

    2/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • I really liked the PwC culture and it was evident why they are the number 1 accountancy firm.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • It gave me a good idea. Personally I am still torn between this and banking but we shall see!

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • My travel expenses were reimbursed shortly after the event.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • There was a brief opportunity to meet some graduates during lunch!

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Aside from lunch due to it being a 1 day event there were no networking opportunities.

    1/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • No one actually brought up this question but I suspect as with most firms there would be a spot of football or so.

    1/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • It was a good way to spend one day during the Easter Holiday. A day away from revision is always a bonus.
