My experience at PwC was extremely enjoyable. I was unsure what to expect going into my placement, but I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful the people here are. Everyone around me boosted my confidence and taught me to believe in my abilities. I found the placement challenging but rewarding. I was given responsibility, which made me feel part of the team, and I was constantly learning and receiving excellent guidance. I’m now confident that I can work in a professional environment and feel well-equipped to enter the working world. I met some fantastic people at PwC and was shown that they value work-life balance. I would recommend working at PwC to anyone!

I was delighted to secure a work placement with PwC. It helped me gain experience in professional services and decide on which career path I wanted to follow. Throughout my placement, I worked on multiple projects with different teams for clients and gained a great deal of experience in such a short space of time. PwC is a very inclusive employer, with people from all walks of life. This makes for a very exciting learning environment. A placement at PwC is a great way to build your network and make lifelong friends.

From the moment I walked into PwC, everyone welcomed me warmly, from the front desk staff to the Partners and Directors. PwC’s supportive values ensure everyone is committed to helping you succeed. During my time at PwC, I had several professional and personal development opportunities. The company focuses on learning and development, offering training opportunities, a coach and buddy system for new hires, and practical experiences that build skills and confidence. I was encouraged to take on challenging projects, and the constructive feedback motivated me to improve. My placement allowed me to gain a well-rounded understanding of the industry and what it takes to succeed. I am grateful for the guidance and inspiration I received at PwC. I left with invaluable knowledge and memories that will benefit me throughout my college degree and professional life.

Following a really enjoyable summer internship at PwC, I returned to do my work placement programme in the Deals Advisory practice. From day one, the entire department was incredibly welcoming and supportive. The culture at PwC is exceptional, creating an environment that makes it easy to settle in and focus on personal growth. Continuous training and workshops provided at PwC ensure you are equipped with the tools to excel professionally, and being able to apply these skills on consequential projects in a hands-on manner is very rewarding. Overall, a placement programme at PwC is a brilliant opportunity to learn a great deal, have fun, and gain a dynamic insight into working at one of the world’s leading professional services companies.
