Intern/trainee Review

Audit intern at PwC in the insurance sector, helping out with various jobs on the year end audit

I improved my excel proficiency, and general audit knowledge. Client communications also developed over the placement

I enjoyed working with my team, which made the long hours of busy season more bearable. Living in london has been such a great experience.

There was a good support network set up, with various buddies and connected developments assigned to each person on the placement which you could go to if you had any issues. There were also ex flying starts who did our introduction meetings to tell us what to expect.

It differs from team to team, but due to the long hours there is lots of support to help manage this however the work still has to be done so it can be quite a high pressure environment

It provided an insight in to audit that I didn't have before which allowed me to understand whats involved in the job

Yes - paid a monthly salary plus overtime

Yes - there were often insurance related events occuring and meetings to get involved with and meet other people from the department

Yes

Great place to get qualified due to the experience and support

Prepare yourself for the intensity of the job but make the most of the opportunities they provide
