Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Day 1 was virtual day, where we got introduced to the student recruitment team and others on the same diversity course. One day 2 and 3 we engaged in a number of activities, mainly attending meetings that our 'buddies' would be a part of (the people we were shadowing). We got to meet a lot of people, as well as partake in teamwork activities with other interns.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very interesting to see how many different career paths PwC offers. There are a multitude of job roles available. I also learned all about the culture and the work life balance at this company which is very good!

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture was nothing short of excellent. Of course it is vital to work hard, but the actual workplace is non-toxic, and there is plenty of room to learn and gain new skills. Everyone I met was really kind and welcoming.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I enjoyed the insight very much, however, I feel like the virtual day could have been more interactive with smaller breakout rooms, or just simply have another day in office.
