Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role required completing Evidence Gathering Activities to work on execution and completion phases of an audit. I worked on several different clients from different sectors which gave me a massive range of knowledge into the work required for an audit.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility throughout my internship. I was assigned several EGAs to complete myself by set times each day and completed multiple Audit Plans which were sent directly to clients. I found this very exciting and rewarding for my hard work.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I learned so many new technologies that were PwC specific which was very exciting and fun to learn about. I also learned how to check over my work to stop mistakes and things I could fix before sending to my buddy/team leader. I developed my team working skills and independent working skills which is very crutial for this type of job.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We were assigned a personal buddy and a shared career coach. My buddy helped me constantly, throughout the day to ensure I understood what was being asked of me and was able to complete the work correctly. My career coach answered all my questions about the possibility of a return offer and the ICAS exam process. They also put me in touch with anyone that could help me with work I was stuck on. It was so beneficial to me to have someone that is always happy to answer my questions.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture was very kind and team focused. Everyone was very friendly in the office and always answered any questions I had. All the different teams I was assigned to would have team meetings and keep everyone in the loop, which I found very helpful. Everyone really seemed to want you to succeed and the environment was very supportive.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend PwC to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
My advice would be always ask for more work. I would go through tasks quickly and would always ask for more so I was never without something to do. This was probably the reason I got to work on multiple different clients and got the opportunity to go on a work trip for 2 days.
