Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Shadowing a mentor, contributing ideas and opinions to meetings and asking questions to members of staff with different levels of seniority in different fields.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was a great opportunity getting an insight into what different projects can involve and how greatly varied they are, from client-facing roles to more internal projects.
Also had the opportunity to talk to members of staff from different roles such as risk as well as the management consultants from the different sectors which provided great insight into the different roles within the company.

The company culture was really the same as the way PwC advertises it. Everyone seemed very friendly with great personalities.
