PwC's Virtual Park

Our Virtual Park will give you the chance to meet and talk to our people in a virtual world. Designed to represent our office spaces in a Virtual Reality setting, PwC’s Virtual Park will give you a real insight into our working environment. You’re able to create an avatar, walk around our park and take part in our events. This is your opportunity to learn more about PwC and to meet our people virtually, from different Lines of Service, offices and grades. Throughout the event, you’ll be able to attend presentations including application process guidance, learn more about our culture and values, and hear from senior speakers on PwC’s response to COVID-19, key challenges for the firm, and their own career journeys. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with members from each line of service as well as our Student Recruitment team in both one-to-one and small group conversations.

If you would like to attend an event in our virtual world, please sign up to one of our events . In order to access the Virtual Park, you will need to create a profile with a third party vendor called VirBELA. (Once you have downloaded the software you'll be asked to create your account). VirBELA is acting as our data processor for the purposes of providing this experience to you.

Terms of use

Just like a physical event we expect you to use our virtual world in a professional manner and behave appropriately. Here’s some details of what you can and can not do when attending an event.

In order to use the platform you need to be 16 years or older.
To have access to the platform you need to sign up to one of our events.
You will be able to download the software before the event. However you will only be able to access the platform 30 minutes before the event.
The Virtual Park will be turned off after each event and not available until the next one.
Please use a headset when in the virtual world for a better audio experience.
You’re free to create your avatar as you wish. Avatars don't need to be a true reflection of yourself in any shape or way.
Any use of presentation boards, sticky notes and chats within the environment will only remain for that event and will be deleted after the event by the organiser.
If you have your voice function turned on, you’ll be heard by other avatars in the environment. You are able to mute your device whenever you like, simply by pressing mute. Avatars within a certain distance can hear your conversations.
When creating your avatar please do not use your full name. You can use your first name and then the first initial of your surname. You can also set up your avatar to only have your first name as the display name.
Do not use the private chat option with any other individual in the Virtual Park. You can post questions and comments on the public chat and there will be opportunities to use your microphone/audio to speak directly with PwC ambassadors during the networking session.
We’re unable to accept individual connection requests on Linkedin or other social media but you can follow PwC UK Careers on social media and come and hear from us at future events. If you sign up to our Talent Network we will notify you about relevant upcoming events and opportunities.
Most of our events will not be recorded. If an event/session is going to be recorded we will let you know. If you do not wish to be part of the session you don’t have to, it's your choice.
If you would like to delete your VirBELA account click here. Once your account is deleted it can not be reenabled, you would need to create a new account.
Speak to our staff and ask them any questions you may have about PwC and our job opportunities.
Walk around the park and interact with all that is available during the event.

Expected behaviour

We expect you to behave in a professional manner, as you would if you were attending a physical event. Expected behaviour:

Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions both when speaking to PwC colleagues, and other users and when using the public or private chat function.
Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech.
Participants asked to stop any of the above behaviours are expected to comply immediately.
Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.
Speak to a PwC staff member if you notice an avatar behaving/speaking/chatting inappropriately.
Do not upload any materials onto the platform.
Do not disrupt the virtual meeting.
Do not make audio or visual recordings of PwC’s Virtual Park events in any medium—and do not distribute audio or visual recordings of PwC’s Virtual Park (via social media or any other means).
Do not take or distribute pictures of or copy research posters/presentation materials used in PwC’s Virtual Park unless explicit permission is granted.
Participants violating these rules may be removed from the virtual world without notice.
