About You
I thoroughly enjoyed this insight and found it very valuable.
I felt extremely valued, everyone from PwC was more than happy to talk to us for however long and answer any questions. The partner dinner was very well attended by partners which made us feel very valued.
I received a lot of guidance and support, through service line sessions, elective sessions and general conversations during activities.
Beyond- definitely as I have learnt more about presenting and teamwork as well as more about how PwC functions. Not necessarily helpful for me degree as I do engineering!
The Company
Very well structured, just the right balance of everything, though I was pretty shattered by the end- but in a good way!
Extremely positive and focussed.
It was only a 2 day scheme but we had small sessions with PwC employees to gain training, as well as practical exercises with help to let us try things ourselves and develop.
Very well, through presentations of service lines both broadly and for your individual service line, as well as PwC employees being around to answer any questions and dinner with partners which was very insightful.
It helped a lot, through multiply conversations with PwC people you could really get a feel for what their culture was like.
Very valuable, I gained a lot of information and got more excited about consultancy and PwC.
Everything Else
Expenses are reimbursed.
Lots! There were PwC employees around all the time, different people each from different areas to network. We had an hour of networking drinks in the evening and the partner dinner provided a great networking opportunity with 2 partners per table of 8 and rotation. We also went to the bar afterwards.
Extremely enjoyable and insightful. You got the opportunity to meet partners and directors from all areas and ask questions or juts chat generally. Plus the food was very good!
Yes, the different societies like sports and the pantomime, as well as weekly drinks.
Most definitely!
