Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Meetings with your mentor (junior associate), assigned some mini projects (take less than a day due to length of project), involved in several programme wide calls (e.g. one for induction, one on mental health. Can access PwC training facilities in wide range of topics. Shadowing (participating in client meetings etc) was not possible for my group due to client privacy issues, but I believe it was for many interns
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Team were very helpful, answered all our questions about career progression and potential roles in a friendly, open way. Difficult to gain insight into all the aspects of the role and of the business in such a short time

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Research the company well, understand as much as you can about the culture, values, and services they provide. This is all very available on their website. Make sure to work hard on the numerical assessment; it’s important to demonstrate this skill. Do what you can to be as relaxed as possible for the video interviews and Assessment centre - a collaborative, friendly and professional attitude goes a long way
