Junior Management Consultant Review

My role involves working with clients to solve their problems which could range from a variety of things from complying with their regulator to transforming their business to become more efficient and cost save. On a day to day basis this involves me working at client offices alongside to help them understand the problem by producing deliverables to help them in the right direction

I have learnt countless skills on the job. I am now a wiz at excel having never understanding it in a business context with all the analytical power. I have also learnt to present in an effective way which we often have to do with the client which is underpinned by many skills such as communication, active listening etc.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the programme. Joining with a cohort and progressing together whilst networking with senior indivusdals learning from their experiences and working with them. It is a great opportunity to get ahead and grow as an individual. The programme really develops you and it can be whatever you make out of it which is the best part.

The programme is well organised. There is a clear promotion path as well as the criteria needed to get there through passing the relevant exams and having an end point assessment to evidence that you have met this criteria. There is support throughout to help ensure that you can do this from the firm alongside our training provider which helps to bring it all together

I receive alot of support from my employer. PwC provide you with a mentor / manager who is constant despite your various projects who checks in with you and helps you to achieve your goals / objectives. There is a strong focus on people here and making sure everybody is support which is one of the best things about the firm

Our training provider has helped us pass the exams through their tuition as well as some days on soft skills to help us develop. They are currently working alongside us to support our end point assessment which is done by an external 3rd party to providing support here through feedback

The qualification gives you an overall understanding of consulting as well as the overall business sense which has really helped when working with clients and getting the overall objective of their problem. Moreover, the financial aspect has definitely helped me be able to analyse and benchmark client data and understand why this is being done.

There are a ton of these at the firm, sports, social , religion, networking. There are countless clubs which the firm help to create and provide budget for so that everyone feels involved and again back to the point that there is always support in one way or another. Our cohort often has extra socials etc as part of our community.

Yes

I have already recommended PwC to my friends, unfortunately they did not get in! The culture and environment is great here perhaps one of the best. I have really grown as an individual here and learnt things I never thought I would have. PwC opens doors to many new opportunities if you wish to move too with the knowledge and skills I have gained

I would say be yourself and why PwC is the place you want to end up at. As well as practise for the exams, be good at presenting and communicating your thoughts effectively, but be able to work in a team well and make sure you can differentiate yourself from other candidates
