extern

May - July 2023 • Florida City, FL

What I liked

What I liked most about PwC was the organization's commitment to professional development and learning. During my time there, I was impressed by the emphasis placed on continuous learning and skill development. PwC offers a range of training and mentorship programs that empower employees to grow and excel in their careers. This culture of learning not only fosters personal and professional growth but also contributes to the overall success of the firm.

What I wish was different

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at PwC; however, if I could change one thing, it would be the format of the work environment. While the virtual setup allowed for flexibility, I believe that an in-person experience would have provided more opportunities for spontaneous interactions, relationship-building, and a deeper sense of connection with colleagues. Nonetheless, I am appreciative of the valuable experiences and skills I gained during my time with PwC

Advice

During my time at PwC, I found that clear and proactive communication was crucial in ensuring successful collaboration and project outcomes, especially in a virtual work environment. Regularly checking in with team members, seeking clarification when needed, and openly sharing progress updates helped to maintain effective teamwork and alignment on goals
