We work on a rotational programme so we do a series of different roles for different teams across the business. No day is ever the same, I could be in a meeting with a clients one day and making powerpoints the next. Very varied.
The most important skill I have learnt is how to articulate myself and how to communicate effectively.
I really enjoy it. Not every day is going to be sunshine and lollipops but overall I've had a good time and met some really interesting people.
I would say they are still getting to grips with the value and position of apprentices in the business but I do feel valued.
Again It is well structured but in time it will become even better as they make continuous improvements
The training provider we use has changed to a better one for continuous improvement and from what I hear they are good.
We have a dedicated person to help us with our learning and development and I definitely appreciate having someone to ask questions when needed.
Well paid with no student debt. You also get added benefits. I no longer live at home, I'm independent because my salary more then covers the cost.
There are lots of things to do outside your normal role. Things like the GLEE club, the yearly Panto, an array of sports clubs etc.
Yes
They treat their staff well and are a good employer. Very good training programmes and good progression through the firm.
Don't go into an interview thinking you can 'wing it' it will not work. Do some research read the news. Know who PwC are before you apply.
