About You
A really intense and enjoyable few days. Lots of opportunities to socialise and network.
The PwC staff running the event really made an effort to get to know us.
The whole point of the event was to see how we coped with the various challenges but feedback was helpful.
The activities provided some useful examples for competency based interviews.
The Company
An effort was made to expose all the different lines of service within PwC. Obviously with so little time, and with students from varying degree disciplines, we only got an overview.
By the end the intensity was beginning to take its toll but everybody had a good time.
As the event was group based there was little personal development. However by attending I definitely gained some important insights.
With such varied lines of service and only group work, all we have to go on is what the employees told us.
PwC made a big effort to promote itself as a company with a great culture.
I'm still as baffled as ever!
Everything Else
Expenses as well as food, drinks, entertainment and accommodation in a nice hotel.
A big effort was made to give us opportunities to network with employees.
Great
The only one I heard was travel.
It was a great opportunity to meet new people, network and gain an insight into professional services
