Associate Review

During the placement I would get put on different engagements and do audit work for them. I focused specifically on Asset and Wealth Management. I spoke to the client and filled out the aura file doing EGAs - these included testing expenses and looking through financial statements

I have learnt many new skills as this is my first time working in audit and asset and wealth management. Everything I learnt has been very beneficial to my future career

I have had an amazing time on this programme. Living in London alongside the workload has been a great experience. The work is not too difficult and if I ever struggled there was always someone around who could help me and answer my questions

The programme is well organised and structured. I always knew what was expected of me and where I should be going. The only negative was that a lot of my team members did not work in my office so I never really sat with a team

I receive a lot of support from my employer. They are very lenient on me if I don't do the normal hours and have to work either earlier on or later. They were also very helpful in coaching me throughout the placement.

I receive a little bit of support but it is mainly in exam season.

I feel that it helps in some ways as when we are in the office I understand some of the tasks better due to the learning I have had from the qualification

there are many social events that happened during my time on placement which made it a much better experience. This helped me network and speak to other people in the office who I hadn't met before.

Yes

PwC cares a lot for their employees and allows you to be very flexible in your work. They promote wellbeing to make sure everyone is still satisfied with their job. They offer many opportunities outside of work and the whole experience is fun

My only advice would be to apply as you have a great work-life balance at the job and it is definitely somewhere that is good to work when you are young and want to live in London
