    • We shadow an employee of the firm in one of the four main sectors that PwC specialise in. This involves following them to client sites, occasionally filling out spreadsheets and other work they give to us and listening to conversation and meetings they have.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • It is well structured centrally, however due to the nature of the work of some employees, individually it may not be as well structured. My buddy had a lot of work and consequently I didn't always have that much work.
