Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There was an online introduction on the first day where we learnt about the company and completed some activities. We also had the opportunity to speak to partners. On the two days in the office we shadowed associates and completed tasks similar to what those employed would also have to complete.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
As we were specifically in the Risk department we specifically learnt about the roles in that sector and focused mainly on TDA. So I was able to learn specifically about the different roles within the technology department with a hands on experience. Through this we were also able to learn a lot about the business as we were able to ask many questions throughout the placement.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC
I would advice others to relax and to try their best.
