Assurance Insight Student Review

A very enjoyable insight experience, managed to gain a lot from my time in the offices even though I wasn't there for very long. Had a great taste of life in assurance and hope that I will be able to come back soon!

Felt quite valued, think I managed to get a lot out of my time working at PwC. Was given a fair amount of work so I must have been trusted, and I managed to get along very well with the many different associates.

Lot's of support, helped through many different things whenever I asked for help I was given it immediately. My colleagues were very helpful and eager to teach me, which I hadn't expected as I know I was only there for a short period of time.

Not sure yet but am sure they will help lots!

Insight was fairly well structured, the first few days were quite linear, I had lots to do and I learnt a lot, there had clearly been some planning for this which was nice, however, after this there was less structure, but I still managed to find lots to do by asking around.

Seemed like a very fun office, I was kept busy and entertained by the associates, didn't think that it would be that enjoyable actually. However, this might have been because it was a quieter part of the season and it was summer, it might be less enjoyable around the busy periods!

PwC invested a lot of time in me in the early few days, but they couldn't continue working with me so closely throughout the period or I wouldn't have learnt how to find work and do stuff by myself, but the training that I received was comprehensive for what I needed to do during the programme.

Yes, I felt like I learnt a lot about what the associates do on a day to day basis, and I know what it will be like for me if I ever return to work at PwC in the future, which I hope I will due to the great experience that I had whilst on this placement!

Similar to the previous answer I felt I learnt a lot.

The content was very useful for deciding on my future path, I really feel like I have a much greater understanding of what assurance is like and fell I know what I will be doing if I return to work at PwC or at another top firm.

Adequate.

Yes, there were lots of opportunities to meet other employees and discuss various aspects of the firm with them. I spent a lot of time with recent graduates networking and asking them lots of questions about the firm, and this was a really valuable experience. I feel like there were lots of good things to come from these experiences.

There were good opportunities to socialise and network, there were a few other students on the programme as well that I could socialise with. There were also some socialising opportunities outside of the office as well, we managed to head to the pub a few times.

I didn't get involved in much but I know there are lots.

I would definitely recommend it to a friend, the insight programme was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I felt that it was well worth my time. The insight programme allowed me to gain a greater understanding of what I want from my career and allowed me to gain strong experience in the area.
