Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day to day tasks included assisting in reviewing financial statements and reconciling amounts to ensure that everything was in order. I helped my Engagement team with whatever I could and prepared many documents to assist in the audit process.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I interacted with the client on client calls and was given tasks which were essential for the completion of the audit which I managed to complete mostly independently once shown how to carry them out.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I've learnt how to use the Aura software which PwC uses for Audit and I have learnt how to interact efficiently with colleagues and maintain a good balance between work and socialising with others in the office. I've learnt to not be afraid to ask for help and that it is better to ask than struggle alone.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received an incredible amount of support from my engagement team and was constantly assured and never felt embarrassed asking questions. My team made me feel really welcome and I instantly got on with all of them. There was an office social that I went to prior to working with my team which I think definitely helped in building relationships in a more casual environment.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Try not to overthink the application process - it can be daunting but everyone is super helpful! Just make sure you have researched the company prior to the assessment centre and interview as they do ask about your knowledge! As for the office, get involved with whatever you can as this really helped me in building relationships and I would say I am leaving PwC with colleagues who I would consider friends!
