Intern/Trainee Review

Im a flying starter, which means i dont have a qualification yet. The program enables me to work with qualified people and see what audit is. On a day-to-day basis, i helped teammates with easy stuff that needed to be done after getting some coaching by them.

I learned PwC softwares and i developed my skills in excel. Also i learnt how audit works. How it is planned, how that planning is getting into practice.

I enjoyed my program in a great extend, as it allowed me to meet new people, interact and work with them. Even though we were busy at most of the times working overtimes, i have pretty good memories when i look back to it.

My programme is organised at an acceptable level. Some of us were not expected, the length of the hours we worked, but also how tough a client could be. The fact that we need to study at the same time, it was making it even worse.

The support was good. The managers knew that we were only interns, and we were getting the coaching we needed.

We gained a reasonable amount of knowledge from one exam( assurance)-, and at the placement we saw that in practice. We were learning so many things, at the placement, that most probably we will see that later on at the university.

There socials, and social activitites, but due to the load of work, we were not able to join many of them.

Yes

Its a huge firm, you can meet lots of people, and as the clients are getting tougher by the means of strict deadlines, the team comes closer and closer. I made friends that i didnt imagine i would. As a business is well structured, and this is due to the years of experience.

As a new joiner, try to be open to challenges, and dont be afraid to get out of your comfort zone.
