Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The first week was online training. For the following three weeks we were placed with teams to do client work. We worked with the team to learn how to do different tasks and support them in the audit.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
We worked up to eventually being delegated tasks and left to work on them on our own. It was our responsibility to ask for help if we needed it.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Just be enthusiastic about the company and the line of service you are applying too. They don't expect you to have any technical knowledge already. Only a couple of the interns had studied accounting before.
