Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Every day is very different depending on which staff have capacity but it's often joining projects which are happening within the office, on tasks such as data review and checking numbers, drafting basic documents and writing internal memos.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Moderate responsibility was given to me, namely the drafting of documents but most of it was conducted with oversight at the end of the day etc to ensure that I was along the right lines.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Not coming from a tax background, working within tax has provided me with additional technical experience within tax, gaining familiarity with the documents and learning how to complete tasks at a greater rate.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
The staff and especially the dedicated "buddy" always made themselves available for questions and supported both the work and attaining the work. I could not flaw them on this, it was a very supportive atmosphere.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
As I was working in the regions, I'm unsure if this would hold up within London, the atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly whilst remaining high performance. Despite only being in the office for 3 weeks, you get a sense of getting to know people on a personal level which is very nice.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Overall it was a very enjoyable experience, the last week was more challenging due to work starting to dry up but other than that, I was constantly busy whilst not being overwhelmed and managed to strike a strong balance.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Focus on portraying the authentic you, whilst it's a large company, firms like PwC are changing and the human element is becoming much more important both internally and in relations with clients, so be genuine, be friendly and don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand.
