Associate Review

I completed my placement performing the role of an associate. Day to day tasks involved liaising with the client, and requesting documentation. In addition, I performed testing over balances to gain comfort over them.

My digital skills have improved massively through my time on placement. This is specifically evident in my use of excel, where I have learned new functions and shortcuts for completing work more efficiently. I have developed my audit knowledge through my time here.

I enjoyed my time on placement thoroughly. I built good relationships with my peers, so when I am back on my next placement I will know people already. Additionally, I enjoyed the work I was performing.

The work experience was well organised. It falls in busy season of the firm, so therefore there was lots of work opportunities for us, and different experiences for us to be involved in.

PwC has a strong company culture. This is evident in the core values they encourage all staff to demonstrate.

My work experience has allowed me to experience working in audit, which I have enjoyed. It has given me vast experiences of different size clients which has gave me a good taste of different audits.

Yes, we were paid a salary monthly for the duration of our training / work placement

There have been regular social events, as well as debriefs after we finish an audit. These have gave good opportunities to engage with other employees outside a purely work environment

Yes

PwC is an enjoyable firm to work. The work completed is engaging and quite often different depending what clients you work on.
