Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Joining a real audit team auditing a real company and completing tasks for that audit alongside a buddy or manager to help you. Involves mostly being in office but also working from home and potentially going to client site.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, the work I did was not irrelevant/ unimportant intern work. It was real work which linked to a real audit of a real company. This made the work much more rewarding.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

Training was perhaps a bit fast paced but once I was on the job, there was always someone there to help me and walk me through the new systems. I also was assigned a coach and buddy to help with any other issues

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Very impressive and positive. There were social events set up for us which were nice to meet people. We finished at midday every friday in line with pwc's summer working hours. The office was very relaxed and we could wear what we liked within reason.
