The Role
It was an amazing opportunity to learn about the business but moreover meet like minded people. Overall, a wealth of knowledge was learnt through the whole experience.
The team I worked in were extremely friendly and would offer all their help towards me, I would always have people to go if I required any help.
Management were extremely supportive, they provided the opportunity to meet with them frequently at lunch and whenever I had any problems they were an immediate point of call.
I was able to manage the time that I worked with also the ability to network.
I was completing work which added value to the firm in particular on par with a graduate roll.
These skills are definitely for life in terms of analytical but also more team work and personal skills
The Company
It was a lively and interactive opportunity and great in terms of meeting new people and learning from them.
We were given a schedule at the beginning in terms of all the training aspects which there were.
PwC offered a lot of training in terms of online material but also a series of key speakers.
I was able to convert my internship into a full time graduate roll.
The Culture
Students would be willing to go out after to have a good work life balance so was a great opportunity to get away from work.
It was costly due to being based in London, however by managing your money it is okay.
There were loads of clubs and bars so there was always something to do.
Yes, there are lots of opportunities in terms of societies similar to like university.
