Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was given different groups to work with, some smaller audits, smaller larger audits, where I helped out in the execute phase of the audit, completing different tests of details, and checking over where work was done before to check it was correct, also attending several group meetings, gaining an insight to audit as a whole
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given big responsibilities with having to email the clients we were doing the audit work for, and was present in several important meetings, it gave me a really good insight to the work audits were completing. I was also given many tasks that the people I was working with would have completed, so it felt like I was definitely contributing to the overall audit.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I massively developed my communication skills as a result with working with several different teams and participating in group projects and group meetings, my technical skills were also improved as I became more accustomed to the work the audit teams were completing. I learnt new presentation skills as I was inexperienced here before, but got good experience presenting ideas to my teams

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I really liked the relaxed atmosphere at pwc, whilst I always had tasks to get on with, I never felt completely pressured or stressed, which I think ensured that I completed the work to a greater quality, this also helped to ensure I had great communication with the teams that I was working with

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement, the entire process was a great experience and gave me several crucial life skills I will likely use in later life.

Overall, I'm glad I applied in the end to this internship.
