Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first day was a virtual introduction to all things Pwc! We learnt about PwC's diversity policies, mental health initiatives and spoke to partners from underrepresented backgrounds.
The following two days consisted of meeting the fellow students on the scheme, shadowing our PwC supervisors and speaking to people of all seniorities about their career at PwC! I undertook audit tasks and sat in on calls for ongoing matters which really developed my knowledge of how audit teams work.
This experience was incredibly insightful and enjoyable; I would thoroughly recommend applying!
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Everybody I spoke to was incredibly helpful and answered all my questions about PwC and the potential roles available for me. Specifically, the employees discussed their personal experience with securing a role at PwC and how that may relate to my future career.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Amazing! So welcoming and collaborative! The office is all open plan and employees have no designated seats, which means everybody knows everyone. PwC's value of 'team first' really encapsulates this culture.
