Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Week 1/3: This week involved 2 days of firm-wide training where all interns were introduced to the wider aspects of working for PwC. The other 3 days were Line of Service training.
Weeks 2-3/3: These next 2 weeks were spent on client work. We were each assigned to different client engagements and partook in the daily calls where tasks would be assigned.
Throughout the 3 weeks we also had a group project.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The 3 weeks gave a great insight into the Audit practice at PwC. It was made very clear to the interns the career path that they could achieve in the future if invited back to a Graduate position within PwC.
