Re: Pwc London Assurance 2012Are you joining in April? If so, I imagine you should have been sent an e-mail by PwC Recruitment with a link inviting you to use the app, along with a unique activation code. Maybe if you're in the September intake they do it later?(Original post by Regent)

Re: Pwc London Assurance 2012Is this the case everywhere? Its just that I read they give blackberries to people who spend a lot of their time out the office (which is us for the fist 3 years).(Original post by Samtheman1)
You dont get a Blackberry but everyone gets a laptop. It will be chained to you for 3 years! -

Blackberry's can be applied for by managers and automatic for partners. Anyone below manager can apply for a company phone (probably not a Blackberry), but that is based on a need basis. For £25 a month though, I am sure most people could afford their own!

Re: Pwc London Assurance 2012Managers and above only, get a Blackberry. If you need a mobile for work purposes below manager, then I believe you can get a very basic Nokia.(Original post by Regent)

Your laptop is not chained to you for 3 years, but 2.5 years, as every 2.5 years your laptop is replaced with a new one. -

Re: Pwc London Assurance 2012And the reason for that is because it opens more doors.(Original post by victoryshinesonus)
