The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed working at pwc, the working environment was friendly and driven of people wanting to succeed at their task, i would love to work here after university
I felt very valued, my colleagues were always happy to help about queries i had
My supervisors were excellent on checking up on us and making sure our internship was used in the best way possible
I was always busy and there were always tasks to be done which kept me engaged and focused
I was given a good amount of responsibily being able to talk to finance directors on yearly audits and completing parts of the audit
Doing accounting and finance, this will certainly broaden my knowledge of accounting and auditing as a whole
The Company
The atmosphere was very friendly and enjoyable to work in every day
Very organised , i always had work and got to travel with audit teams to really enjoy what a yearly audit is like
They invested a lot of time with online courses and a mentor to coach woth any issues
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Very good, based on feedback on your internship , which i have been offered a grad job
The Culture
Yes we all socialised when we had free time and met up after work
I was living at home so no costs
Uxbridge has many pubs and restaurants so we were never bored
Yes we had work events in london and sports matches set up
