Sustainability Review

We had three work rotations across four weeks, during which we'd be integrated into live project teams and help with client-facing work. Additionally, we could volunteer to help on other projects of interest and had regular lectures, workshops, and case studies with PwC subject matter experts.

We were given a lot of responsibility. We were able to make meaningful and creative contributions to client projects, and were trusted to join and interact in client-facing meetings.

PwC poured significant resources into teaching us about sustainability at wide, their business offering, and how to progress our own careers. I learnt how client engagement cycles work, as well as how to manage myself within that process. I also learnt important technical skills through my project work.

We were supported by a) a buddy (typically an associate), b) a career coach (a manager or senior manager), and c) by various higher levels of authority - from the resourcing team, to the Sustainability team at wide. It is honestly one of the nicest teams I've ever been a part of and the support was incredible throughout! We had biweekly check-ins as to our progress and wellbeing.

PwC is notorious for working hard, which is certainly true. However, the Sustainability team has a wonderful culture wherein everyone is allowed to be themselves. The dress code ('Dress for your day') meant that people often wore jeans and t-shirts to the office. Everyone was incredibly kind and supportive to the interns!

I had an amazing time and would recommend it to anyone. We had lots of networking events: a Jenga icebreaker, escape room, environmental volunteering day, various afterwork events, a crazy golf social. The internship cohort was 36 people, and all of us became very close. And generally speaking, the 4 weeks flew!
