Audit work. Stock counts, sampling/ documentation, client visits and meetings etc.

8/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes. Greatly improved my Excel proficiency and typing speed/ words per minute. Also gained more confidence liaising directly with clients and learnt new skills in order to use PwC systems.

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It was enjoyable. A good learning experience, and well looked after in office and with accommodation, but I didn't have a huge amount of time to relax.

Very well organised

Normal university experience

7/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I learnt a lot more quickly and effectively through the full time working role, but the training provider provided a rough base of knowledge.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes. Played football with members of the office any weeks that I was available.

7/10

9a. Would you recommend PwC to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Good working environment, and I have learnt a lot from only ~3 months of work, but also been given responsibility/ autonomy over my own work/ decision making when necessary.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to PwC?

Make it clear in the process that, although you have a good breadth of knowledge, you are always happy to ask questions if you have issues.
