N/A

5/10

9. Would you recommend PwC to a friend?

9b. Why?

The support and coaching throughout the placement is not what I would expect especially for the work that is required from us. Going through the normal graduate process gives you a better chance to learn on the job and develop skills without being pressured.

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

Be prepared to learn independently and pick up things as you go.
