About You
I was at the PwC talent academy and it was definitely one of the most useful experiences I have ever had! It was what it should be - challenging, exciting, extraordinary! I give 9 stars because I think some speeches should have been reduced.
The people who organized the event responded to every single request that I have had and in addition, they knew all the students by names which made the communication like a piece of cake.
I was welcomed to ask any sort of questions during the event.
The event was really well organized, however, it was more orientated as for students to get to know the company. In addition, the most important thing for me was fulfilled, which was the fact that they showed us how to be prepared for all the assessed activities.
The Company
It was really well sturctured because we were occupied from 9am until late evening and in the same time there were some really great socials.
The atmosphere was superb and all the students were amazing!
It was three days specially made for us
The insight was more about giving us advices and preparing us for the assessment part of the application process. However, we had multiple presentations and speeches which gave us an overall insight.
The insight definitely showed me what kind of people work in the company and how they operate.
I realized that I want to work in exactly such a company. Moreover, I had the opportunity to speak from graduates from different divisions which definitely exaplained to me what their role is.
Everything Else
I was reimbursed expenses.
Apart from speaking with graduates from different divisions, all the student had the fascinating opportunity to have a dinner with around 10 partners and speak to each of them.
Amazing
No because we didn't have enough time to cover everything.
Absolutely, because it is a lifetime experience and you can make true friends and develop our networking skills.
