Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

The programme consisted of various interactive training sessions within the RMS Actuarial division of PWC, and the opportunity to meet various people one-to-one within PWC, from grads to senior directors, in scheduled meetings as well as in a networking social event organised by PWC.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

Really insightful - didn't realise there were so many different paths and roles available, and the variety of work within the division.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Definitely - I've gained a lot of new knowledge and insight into the RMS Actuarial division at PWC, and learned a lot about what the job actually entails. It's also helped me to push myself to speak more and express my thoughts in front of large groups.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

Probably one of my favourites so far - lovely culture. Gained a lot of knowledge and insight, and everyone on the programme was really friendly and approachable. Also really appreciate the amount of effort they went to to provide us with a good programme experience - pwc laptops loaned to us and free merch were a plus!
