Overview of Role

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

After a first week of training, interns were then able to experience and work on a live client engagement by joining an auditing team for 3 weeks. Aside from client work, we also completed an intern groupwork challenge where we came up with marketing strategies to help a social enterprise.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Interns were given responsibilities immediately after our training by allowing us to work on live client engagements (with the support of the auditing team around us).

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I thoroughly enjoyed my internship experience due to the work culture at PwC but also due to being given the chance to immediately work on client work. I also really enjoyed being able to communicate with other senior colleagues and working with many different people in the firm. There are also lots of chances to attend social networking events to meet other interns and colleagues which was very nice.
