Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Great place to work, really friendly and has a lot of team spirit
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?
Be yourself- the interviewer wants to see how you would work well within a team- on speaking to my interviewer, she was really looking at whether or not she'd want to work with me. It's not all about knowing the absolute most!
