Good Learning Experience

Intern (Former Employee)
Shanghai, Shanghai (China)

I worked at PwC as an intern for less than a year

ProsI worked at PwC as an intern and I really enjoyed my experience. I learned a lot and felt that management actually cared about my personal development. I worked on projects with other interns, did meaningful client work, and felt as if I was really part of a team. I also got a chance to meet some of the partners, which was really unexpected at such a large firm.

ConsPay wasn't that great, and as a finance person, I'm not sure if I'd want to stay at an accounting firm forever.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
