Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As a summer intern, I had the opportunity to shadow an associate in her meetings with her team where they work on a client project to enhance the client's HR and workforce strategy. I was assigned to help them with slides and decks that will be presented to the client. I also actively help other colleagues with their research and deck preparation. In addition to shadowing and lending hand to my colleagues, PwC has assigned a project for all interns to help an organization with their challenges and problems from arranging a meeting with the client, finding out the core problem to come up with solutions. To conclude, on a daily basis, my work revolve around deck preparation, researching and meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I were given a reasonable amount of responsibility. It is not too little that hinder me from learning new things and it is not too much that demotivate me from working. I have a career coach and a buddy that always support me throughout my internship.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I love the culture ! Everyone is very open and kind and always ready to lend a hand. There are no cubicles or personal office room. Everyone are free to sit anywhere in the department area. This allow us to engage and network with everyone in the office despite their level. Additionally, they have a very flexible working location. We can choose to either work from home or in the office.
