Strategy& Insight Day

Is there anyone attending PwC Strategy& Insight Day?

I have no idea what to expect from this event.
The description says they will be sharing useful resources and personalised advice for the application as well as a chance for a mock interview. Should I be prepared for the case interview in this case?

If this can be converted into a summer, then yes you should be prepared

I'm on the graduate pathway for the insight day - will be attending next week. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!

I'll be honest, I'm not doing much prep - sort of just hoping to engage with the staff on the day. Not sure how it'll be conducted since it's online but I guess I'll do my best!

It wasn't as useful as I'd hoped; there were a few workshops on what makes a good CV, some skills discussions, a guided case workshop, then some information about what the rest of the application process is like. I wasn't able to attend the in-person networking event, but it was supposedly quite a casual affair. I definitely don't think anyone would be particularly disadvantaged if they were to apply to the company without attending the day. We were actually told not to mention the insight day in our application.

They told us to mention the insight day. But not be too generic in the Statement.

Anyone heard back from them? The email said we'd find out about the outcome of our applications by Monday 21st but I've yet to hear...

They emailed me again saying that the outcomes have been delayed for another two weeks. I assume we'll be hearing back in November?

Yep I’m still waiting, we should have heard back on Friday but given their recent communications they’ll probably be late again.
