Intern Reviews
- “I was required to work about 50 hours a week with a lot of flexibility around when I work. There were also a ton of connectivity events which created a great balance between work done and time to connect with the larger team. I also had the time to do the things I like outside of work.”
- “The company is flexible with working virtually and maintains a limit for the number of hours interns work. However, for full-time employees, the hours are longer. They also expect interns/associates to be self-starters and initiate asking for work and getting help.”
- “I interned during the summer, so things were fairly easy going at the office. Everyone at the office is very friendly and professional, and PwC is a great company to work for.”
- “Very inviting culture, was able to easily become part of the team seconds after meeting them. Great environment, everyone is always willing to help the other. Required to work 40 hours. Everyone seems to have a good work/life balance when outside of the busy season.”
Getting Hired Here
- “I had multiple interactions with people from the firm. I had two casual chats with people who used to go to my university, they helped me prepare for my interview and answered any questions I had. I had three different interviewers. The first one was casual and for any last-minute questions. The second and third ones were with people higher up in the firm. Everyone was super nice and welcoming.”
- “The interviews require you to be thoughtful and also to connect with another person you haven't met before within a short time. It was not difficult, but you do need to be sharp.”
- “The interviewers I met with throughout my hiring process were very nice throughout the interviews. They asked good questions that you would typically hear in interviews, but they also made conversation, so it didn't feel so intimidating.”
- “The interview process was extensive, but also felt like they were actively setting you up to present the best version of yourself. It was honestly one of the interviews I felt the most comfortable in, and that was a direct result of actions the firm took to make me feel comfortable.”
