    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Invested in from the start and quickly felt like a valued member of the team

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

    • The culture in the company is incredibly welcoming

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

    • The best part about PwC is the people manager structure- where you have someone who isn't your line manager in charge of your wellbeing and development. It meant there was always someone to go to if there were any issues or pressures that you might not be comfortable talking about to your team leader

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Very. This is a good thing though as it means you learn a lot and can show your worth

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

    • A lot. We were given responsibility on live projects from the beginning- no coffee making here. My views were always valued too.

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

    • An invaluable experience with a number of skills I'll take forward

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Very friendly and also always able to talk to people without feeling like you were annoying them. Socialising could be better outside of work time.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very well organised, though I would have liked more say on the projects I was placed on

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • A huge amount. They held nothing back in terms of invest from the 3 day residential induction at the beginning right the way through.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Huge. Won't find out about job offers until we leave but either way the experience will look great on my CV

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Partially, but could be much better.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Lots of restaurants and pubs to go to for lunch and after work. Its central london so its not the cheapest place but you also get a higher salary in london so it balances out

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • You'd likely go more central for nightlife

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Lots of activities if you took the initiative to find them, I know one guy got involved with the pwc football team
