8.8/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Working on account teams, prepping bids, reviewing tenders, CRM hygeine.

9/10

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

So many it feels flippant to list some: CRm systems Invoicing Tendering process managing client relationships managing partners/directors RAID logs Gantt charts PMO Op model work

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Greatly, although no real incentive to work that hard for the first year. All senior employees who have tried to give me more responibility/new roles have been blocked by resourcing. But I do understand why and I know credibility adds up over time.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

very well thought through, only fault is in previous answer

10/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Loads, actually too much - I had to say no to/unsubscribe from a few of their support initiatives because it was just unecessary.

10/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Loads, again can't fault them.

10/10

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

It doesn't. They get me a qualification. So far it's the day to day job at my employer that has given me basically all my knowledge and experience that seems in any way useful.

1/10

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.)

More than I can name in 50 words - if you want it, chances are it exists. Not that I do them...yet

10/10

9a. Would you recommend PwC to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I'm a realist and very reflective/critical/constructive, I'm able to find a fault in most things if I try - I struggle at PwC to find much at all

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

They're amazing - if you're smart, like working with other smart people, have decent social skills, and are willing to put in time and effort, they'll take you most places you want to go.
