What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very insightful to understand about the job roles as an auditor when shadowing with an employee in PwC. Talking to the employees made me able to understand about different lines of service and jobs in PwC. I have also learnt about the flexibility and opportunities available in PwC. Networking with people has also enabled me to understand about the culture of the firm as they are very willing to share about their opinions and experience.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I have definitely developed my communication skills through the programme, for example at the first day we were able to meet people from different levels of the firm, from partners, to directors, to audit associates. Moreover, it has also allowed me to learn new technical knowledge about the line of service which will be really handy and helpful for my future career. Looking at how they work in group has also helped to develop my collaboration skills and groupwork skills.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The general atmosphere of the company is very comfortable and friendly. Everyone in the firm, from partner, to director to every staff in the firm is very open for any questions and they are always there to support and help out each other. This atmosphere is really good for working and will be especially comfortable for employees to work together, especially during group work. Every employee is very happy to share about their opinions and experiences which is very insightful.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC
I would say is to really do research on the firm, so that you will know about the company culture and the company's main motives, which will be helpful for interview. By this, you will know if you will enjoy the atmosphere of the firm when joining in the future. Also, research on the line of service applied should also be researched that it really suits your expectation about future career. Practicing for online assessment and video interview is also important.
