Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Gaining practical experience at PwC. This largely involves shadowing client projects and doing menial tasks such as formatting, Google Sheets, Slides, etc. Networking with your colleagues and peers is an important part of the role too. There is also an Intern Purpose Challenge where you are divided into teams to help local social enterprises with a business challenge.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Depended on the team - some were more trusting than others. Tasks were generally low-level or menial but with a high degree of responsibility and autonomy.

What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Just be yourself and do your research - it's as much to see if they're a good fit for you as you are for them. If you care about a strong company culture and meaningful connections at work then this is the place for you! The application process is rigorous but 100% worth it.
