About You
I enjoyed it a lot, I managed to go to different departments and meet different people and understand what it's like to work for PwC and what their daily jobs entailed.
Every employee was extremely welcoming
I was often left alone to complete tasks but everyone was more than helpful when I asked questions
I was only there for a week so I was left to do basic tasks that generally did not need a prior knowledge to accounting.
The Company
I was meant to be shadowing a women, however due to other commitments I only saw her briefly on the first day and then briefly on my last day. Instead I was put with some of her colleagues, where sometimes I felt they did not have enough work for me to do. However, this enabled me to meet many different people from different departments, which I would not have been able to do otherwise.
Very friendly
They showed me how to use the software which was very interesting
It was helpful when I had chats with employees in their lunch breaks etc as they give you a more personal view of what it's like to work for the firm
Very helpful
Very valuable, it has confirmed that I want to work for them in the future
Everything Else
I was paid
I sat in some external meetings with companies such as Weetabix
N/A
Yes, they have many social events between employees to encourage team building
