    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I've felt included and a part of PwC the whole way through the internship.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Support and guidance is always available if you ask.

    5/5

    • Kept busy with a good amount of work combined with reasonable working hours

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Given some responsibility. Could have been given more, but this is always difficult considering how little experience interns have of the firm and type of work done.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • They will assist greatly. I learnt both how to work to tight deadlines in a team and how academic study at university can be applied in a real world context.
