Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Research goes a long way in the application process. Being able to speak somewhat on the culture and the initiatives within shows your interest and awareness of what you are signing up for. Being genuine and your passion comes across. Leadership doesn't always mean being the person who talks the most in the meeting!
