  • 4. How valued do you feel by PwC?
  • Everyone, and I mean everyone is so nice at PwC, they make you feel like an equal. I was sitting next to a partner the entire time but I didn't even know until my buddy told me, they're so humble and grounded. My buddy let me work on his projects and come to his meetings and conference calls all the time and other employees were so understanding without any fuss, it felt great!
