Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual internship and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Day 1: Spoke to a senior director who spoke about the lessons she has learnt from working at PwC. Then I was given a introduction to what Risk modelling services team do from a recent associate. Then had a one to one conversation with a partner who is involved in insurance for FTSE 500 companies.
Day 2: More chats with people from C and G, non life and banking . Sample excel work given.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very interesting. Doing this virtual experience gives you the opportunity of getting a offer of a summer internship if you are first year or summer placement if you are in your second year. However for the department I was under which was RMS needs an additional interview with a senior.

Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Properly research the company and the branch you are applying for. For the initial game stage I would recommend using the peak app on ios and android. Also for the interview stage practice by recording yourself and just don't stress. For the group interview on the final stage don't try and be too bossy nor too quiet and try and include everyone into the conversation.
