4. How valued do you feel by PwC?

I feel really valued. From day one, I was not treated as the 'apprentice' as such, I was put in the deep end straight away, guided by my buddy to be doing proper, chargable clinet work.

I feel the programme is structured and organised and this has improved a lot from previous years where it was not so organised.

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Lots of support - we are not expected to work late when we have exams, even if this is close to busy deadline periods. The staff are very supportiuve and always offer help.

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

I feel that if I was to be renting in London, in order to come to work everyday, the starting costs of the job would not be enough. However, I am libing at home becasue of this reason and the pay is suffiecent.

6/10

PwC offers many opportunites to get involved with the community and coming together as a firm. We gert many benefits which are great to use.
