Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Assisting on different projects in different markets serviced by the RMS Business Unit of the Risk Line of Service at PwC. On a day to day I worked with Google Suite, Microsoft Office and VSCode.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a significant amount of responsibility. Since I was put onto real external projects, the work I was doing has actual leverage on PwC as a company and their reputation.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We had a great support and guidance system through the internship. Every Intern has a Buddy, Career Coach, and Engagement Leader, all trying to make sure you have enough work to do, support to actually complete the work, and a way of monitoring your progress over the internship.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The environment at PwC was amazing. Could not speak more highly of it. I had over 40 meetings with staff members over my 4 weeks there and everyone was happy to speak to me. The culture of the company has a real focus on people. Everyone here is talented in their work but also great people.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed my internship a significant amount. Usually on internships a company will make you do meaningless admin work that ends up being repetitive tasks over and over again. At PwC it was the complete opposite. I was doing different things most days and enjoyed the whole time I was here. My only complaint would be that it was not long enough.
Please rate your level of enjoyment on your placement / internship

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
I would advise you to make sure your applications are concise but get your point about yourself across. I would also say in the Assessment Centre make sure you are open and confident and are trying to display signs of leadership, courage, and intelligence.
