Overview of the Experience

Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:
4/5
I was using different technologies in order to make the analysis of data easier for clients to spot trends etc and therefore maximising profit.
To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?
5/5
I really enjoyed my work experience and time at PwC. I really developed a lot of personal and technical skills that will set me up for my final year university.
How well organised was your work experience?
3/5
I thought that primarily my work experience was very well organised from when I started with a great induction and a buddy system to ask if I was ever unsure. The only part was leaving that could've been slightly clearer.
How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?
4/5
I think that it definitely helped as it allowed me to consider something such as a Data Analyst or working in Data Visualisation
Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?
5/5
Yes I was paid a monthly salary totalling in 19,000

Skills Development

What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?
4/5
I developed both my technical skills as well as my ability to work in a team and improve my communication skills as well as time management when working on a project.

Company Culture

How much did you learn about the company culture and what it would be like to work there?
4/5
I think I learnt a lot although due to Covid I had to work from home which effected how I saw working for PwC as it was a very different environment to working in the office. They tried to keep us well connected with team calls on a regular basis
Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?
4/5
Yes as a whole I think PwC was a very social company with many opportunities to meet and get to know people through different social events

Recommendations and Advice

Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
Why?
As a work experience I learnt a lot from PwC as they gave me real job roles and really pushed me outside of my comfort zone to complete projects I never thought I would be able to complete.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?
Make the most of all the opportunities that PwC offer.
