Summer Intern Review

My internship with PwC was a great experience to learn more about what it is like to work in a professional environment, working on real jobs and clients, and being given responsibility for the work I was assigned to.

Everyone at PwC was extremely helpful and friendly, everytime I had a question I could go and ask colleagues or my buddy for help, and tied friendships with my fellow interns.

I was given guidance from my in charge at the beginning of each job as well as thourghout, whenever I had any questions. I feel the management have been really supportive, in particular my People Manager that was supervising my progress.

There was a good balance of work as everytime there wasn't anything I could do on the job I was booked on I could ask other managers for work or send an Available for work e-mail.

I was given the responsibility to work on real clients, using the systems on my own so I can familiarise myself with them, however I always had an in charge that I could go to and ask questions if there was anything I was unsure about. I was encouraged to make decisions on my own but also ask for help where needed.

The 6 weeks I spent on this internship has helped me develop my study skills as I had to do research and also become more organised as I was working to a schedule. I feel this will be really helpful in my 4th year when preparing for my dissertation.

Great atmosphere in the office, everyone was really friendly and had lots of social events throughout the internship.

The internship was very well organised - we went for training in Daventry in Birmingham and also had a Dragons' Den competition in London in our last week. Throughout the internship we were assigned a people manager, and everything was set up just as for permanent employees.

I feel that there was a huge investment in my training and development as I attended an induction event where we were given training for three days as well as another two days of training in the office. After the first week I feel I was being given the coaching I needed in terms of using the IT systems as well as understanding the line of service I was doing - Assurance.

I am hoping to be able to obtain a Graduate job and come back to work at PwC next year.

There was a really good atmosphere amongst fellow interns and colleagues - had the chance to know each other better at our induction and went to dinners and sightseeing in London. Also outside of work, we would organise events and go out together.

It was cheap as I did my internship in the same city where I live and go to university and therefore I did not have to rent a flat or commute.

Great nightlife - lots of clubs and pub to choose from!

Social events and trips.
