Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We spoke to many team leaders/ project managers and current apprentices on their current times at PwC. Also learnt details of a current project with a big client and attended a meeting which allowed for current experience to be gained.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very insightful as we were able to speak to people and ask about their careers, see the available progression and how the PwC career ladder works.
