Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given audit tasks to complete by myself but was given a lot of guidance and team members were always available to answer questions when I had them.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I thoroughly enjoyed the placement. I was given plenty of work, responsibility and guidance. PwC also offered events outside of the work day which were enjoyable. Some of the work I was given was quite basic at times but this is all I expected coming in to the internship.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Spend time researching PwC before applying so that you understand the company, their values and their purpose. If you get the job, you'll get a lot out of it if you put a lot in, and the effort is worthwhile since you can be offered a graduate job after.
