Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Highly reputable company for a reason. Great exposure to financial areas that are quite difficult to access as well as giving you a really solid foundation of accounting knowledge. This knowledge is then extremely transferable to any other roles or jobs that one would wish to do in the finance sector.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?
Do your research on the firm beforehand and prepare your answers for your interview. When getting to the final stage, it is less about showing them how good you are individually but more so how you behave in a team setting so try and get all people in the session involved as much as possible while adding in your pieces of input along the way.
