Overview of the Experience

Please give an overview of what your work experience involved:

5/5

I would help to prepare EGAs, attend meetings, use Excel.

To what extent did you enjoy your work experience?

5/5

I thoroughly enjoyed working with PwC. There was always opportunity to learn and meet people, develop new skills and gain a greater understanding. The office building was modern, social, friendly and a great environment to work.

How well organised was your work experience?

5/5

It was very well organised. I enjoy that it is during the academic year meaning I don't have to take time out of my university holidays for work experience.

How much did your work experience help you in deciding on your future career path?

1/5

It helped hugely and certainly showed that this is an area I want to work in during the future.

Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?

5/5

Yes

Skills Development

What training and skills development did you learn from your work experience?

5/5

I developed my communication skills as I had a large team. My Excel skills hugely improved. I gained a greater understanding of what an auditor does on a day-to-day basis.

Company Culture

How much did you learn about the company culture and what it would be like to work there?

4/5

I would go to the office the majority of days so I learned a lot about company culture through being in the office and talking to people there. The office is very social and has a relaxed environment which I appreciated.

Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees?

5/5

Yes, we would have regular team socials. The kitchen area and coffee machine was a good way to interact with others. The post-signing team de-briefs were a god way to celebrate all our hard work during the audit.
