  • 4. How valued do you feel by PwC?
  • When working with different teams, majority of the time I felt that the work I did was appreciated and I was congratulated for it. When it comes to social events and being involved in different areas of the firm, I felt that flying starts were not always included, especially on mailing lists for events.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I experienced good amounts of training before and during the programme, however felt that there was a lack of support at times during the placements. During busy season we had a University project to complete, which was difficult to complete due to busy season hours, we did not have much spare time to complete this
