Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
An introduction into PwC's Deals Line of Service with talks from business representatives across all levels of seniority from Associates to Partners, Q&A sessions and interactive exercises. Given an insight into the Business Units within Deals, including Corporate Finance, Business Restructuring Services and Transaction Services. Also had an informal networking coffee chat with a Director in one of PwC's regional offices.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The knowledge they gave us was really helpful in discovering what work you would be doing in each Business Unit on a day-to-day basis, the skills required for the role, the types of transactions the business advises on and the company's culture.
Has given me the understanding needed to make an informed decision of whether to progress my career at the company.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Company culture is really supportive, you can tell that they genuinely care about their employees, as they make their voices heard, make adjustments for them to suit their career needs and more. The company is also in touch with the local community with events such as a Pantomime acted out by employees each year for school children to watch.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I enjoyed the insight highly because everyone was willing to make time for us and answer all the questions we had about the company and Line of Service and gave genuine advice regarding our career paths. However, at times the insight could get quite tedious as there was a high level of information overload and at many times it was just business representatives speaking to us, so there wasn't as much engagement.
