Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I spent 3 days with PwC. My scheme was virtual so they sent us all laptops to work from. I was paired with a graduate employee in Deals along with another intern and she organised coffee chats for us with a wide array of employees within Deals, as well as a few interactive sessions with tasks from different areas within Deals. PwC also put on workshops/presentations/Q&A panels about the firm. We had an organised calendar that was full to the brim.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really useful. We were given a really in-depth insight into Deals due to the numerous coffee chats and presentations.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Take your time with the app-based psychometric testing as PwC want to see you put the effort in. Prepare for your interview and assessment centre as they want to see a good knowledge of the company. PwC is a very people focused firm and the main thing they want to see is that you're enthusiastic and confident.
