Junior management consultant Review

Rotation based apprenticeship with each one being 6 months long. Day to day your role can change from being anything like managing the bidding process for new opportunities that come up to looking at the firms VR/AR capabilities. You spend two years on this scheme before going to the graduate scheme.

The firm offers training in a variety of different subjects at various points in the year such as excel, soft skills and other topics. Since joining, I’ve learn a lot about the industry of consulting such as competitors, pricing models and how to present to an excellent standard which helps in all aspect of life.

The ability to vary your role with emphasis put on doing addition activities, the rotation nature and the friendly culture here is what makes this an amazing place to work. You are supported with your qualification by being given day release to go to college and overall you feel very supported.

The programme is very well organised and structured. Reviews are constantly being done to look at the length of rotations and where the scheme leads to and whether you things should be done differently which makes you feel optimistic about change. You feel good overall had that feeds into job satisfaction.

You get support in many forms such as day release for college, regular training, well being training, specific managers for your performance, access to people who will support you at any point and the same benefits as any other employee. You do not feel differentiated when you’re here it’s great.

As mentioned previously, you are fully funded and giving time off to go to college. You are also given time off to study in the form of study leave. Further more you have 247 access to the building to use for study needs when you are not working. That means coffees and desk space.

The qualification is broadly focussed on business and consulting so it does help however it isn’t focussed on your day to day work. There is reviews being done to ensure the qualification is appropriate and there is more opportunity to do qualifications as you progress through your career such a short CIMA.

There are all types of sports teams and communities at pwc that are funded by the company hence you are able to do what you love in your spare time and you can meet people from different disciplines in the business with ease whilst learning new skills. It is an amazing aspect of things.
