Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was able to meet a number of workers that provided me with first-hand experience of working under PwC. These sessions were very insightful and motivating for me as I have become more interested to work with the company in the future. The work buddy that I was assigned to was very patient and helpful in teaching and guiding us about the ins and outs of the company.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The workers, especially my work buddy, was very helpful in explaining all these potential roles as well as provided us with ample resources to further look into the business.
