Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a 3 day long insight and we got to shadow a senior Tech Consultant. They showed us a day in their life and set up meetings for us with different employees in the area that we were interested in.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I found it really helpful to see what the role entails and what potential roles are available within the business unit. It was great to see that there are more than one routes within Tech Consulting, not just pure consulting.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture is the one aspect that makes PwC a great company. All the people we spoke to were really happy working at the company and told us about all the benefits available to them. They were happy to speak to us which was a voluntary thing, so it says a lot about how much people like to work there.
