Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual internship and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

Calls with individuals from the economics consulting team as well as shadowing a mentor over the three days whilst working on a research project that I presented to my mentor on the final day.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

I entered the programme with some existing knowledge but I am now more aware of the business and how it operates. I have a more rounded understanding of economic consulting and what a career in this line of service entails.

Company Culture

How would you rate business leader involvement during the virtual internship

4/5

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The culture was wonderful to be a part of and there wasn't the hierarchal structure you typically experience in large firms. It was really enjoyable to be able to speak to both new employees and more senior members of the team and feel that they valued your time as much as your valued theirs.

How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the virtual internship?

I really enjoyed the experience and would have only liked for it to be longer or to have had the opportunity to go into the office. Overall, a very rounded and detailed insight into PWC as a company and what it could be like to work with them.
