For interns who have secured full-time offers from PwC, they are welcomed to the company at a launch event at Disney World theme parks, where they compete in fun challenges like a puzzle game called Pirate Pursuit.

All jobs at the department head level and below are posted internally for a minimum of five days, and all interested applicants have to be interviewed before an offer can be made to an outside candidate.
