Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given some degree of responsibility such as emailing and talking to clients about their requirements.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received a decent amount of support and guidance however a lot of training for the job will have to be in your own time and by yourself using free and some paid resources PwC may provide.
How would you rate the support and guidance from your line manager?
4/5
How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?
3/5

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I was working from home the vast majority of the time due to the pandemic so not much clue about office atmosphere. But via emails and calls, it can be political between teams. If you have a good manager, they can usually handle that without you dealing with it.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

How would you rate the social opportunities?

How would you rate the diversity initiatives?
3/5
How would you rate the charity, sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed it well mainly because of the team I was in, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if I was in the office.
Please rate your level of enjoyment on your placement / internship
