Easily the shittiest internship ever. Way to go PwC, not even your brainwashing trip to Disney will save this 😂👌🏽.

Snapshots aren't the tool to get feedback, someone should have told you that. You're supposed to be proactive in asking for feedback, with snapshots being a formality; that's the norm in consulting. Can't tell if you did that based off your post but makes a huge diff to your story

like

Do a basic google search and everyone will tell you the keys to a successful internship are asking for genuine feedback often from everyone on your team, and showing strong progress towards the feedback. Snapshot is a joke, you want time to react and adapt to feedback before someone logs a formal appraisal for you... that being said S& ignores snapshot results, not sure what PwC does with them (hopefully burn them all).

Man some of you pwc folks are the shittiest. Op didn't get a return offer and all you do is put him/her down. Just remember karma. What goes around comes around. Next time it'll be your ass on the chopping block.

S&3: not trying to be a dick, but I don't see where he said he didn't get a return offer. I see where he says the trip to Disneyland won't save his opinion (whatever that means).

Consulting isn't for everyone. The fact that OP views having to work the day after the 4th of July to be a horrible offense reinforces that. I don't take offense nor put down people who are honest with themselves. OP just showed up here and started talking shit about the firm without any context.

Again, I wish you the best with whatever is next.

I actually interned at PwC as well before jumping ship and going full time to Bain. OP I definitely have different complaints than you, but PwC wasn't for me and it definitely isn't for everyone. In particular I wasn't a fan of being pigeon-holed into specific horizontals and verticals with little opportunity to move around or even roll off of the long-term clients my practice area served.
