I loved working in the office and meeting so many helpful individuals from different lines of service and levels! It was great to meet interns from different offices during our training and learning about the firms initiatives.

Core Assurance Intern

June - August 2018 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

It was real, hands-on audit work. You get to learn the different software platforms that they use, work with all levels of employees, and work inside some of the biggest companies in the Detroit Area. Opportunity just oozes from this internship.

What I wish was different

I wish that I was better prepared to be in that kind of work environment. It is very fast-paced, and you need to learn how to keep up quick if you don't want to get left behind.

Advice

Be able to handle and apply the critiques given to you.

June - July 2018 • Miami, FL

What I liked

I got to rotate through the many lines of service the PwC firm has to offer and get to see what type of work I like and I would want to continue pursuing in the future.

What I wish was different

It had been a couple weeks longer. It was a 6 week program and I feel like it ended too soon and I didn't have the chance to do everything I wanted to do.

Advice

Take advantage of the experience and talk to as many professionals in the firm as you can. They are there to help you and they are your most valuable resource throughout this process.

Core Assurance Intern

June - August 2018 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

I loved the work that I was doing and the people I was doing that work with. All of the members on my team were so helpful and inspiring. They always encouraged me and it was evident that they really wanted me to succeed and walk away from my internship knowing that I learned a lot.

What I wish was different

Honestly nothing. It was the perfect length, the pay was amazing, and the people were so awesome.

Advice

Make the most out of every learning opportunity, experience, and conversation you have. You will learn so much more if you put in that extra effort and the people that you work with will notice it. The connections you make will last a lifetime.

Internal Firm Services Intern

June - July 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I got to experience the different lines of service within the firm such as Assurance and Tax while simultaneously working within the Global Office of the General Counsel for the firm. Specifically, I was working with the Business Operational Services Risk & Legal (BOS) team. I also loved the company culture at the Firm because people who were more senior than I were always willing to give me advice or lend a hand.

What I wish was different

I wish there was a way for the internship program to make sure everyone was occupied with tasks. Sometimes my peers would go a week or longer without work and sometimes I felt it wasn't fair to be evaluated on the same criteria as some of them.

Advice

Go for it! The worst that could happen is you reapply next year. You never know! :)

Start Intern

June - July 2018 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

I liked the type of opportunities presented to us such as networking with highly successful individuals, or attending cool events organized by the firm. I also liked how we had the opportunity to shadow other individuals in areas that we are interested in.

What I wish was different

I wish the work we were given was slightly more tailored to our interests, but the program is just about learning about the firm and the business.

Advice

If someone were to apply for this program I would say just try and absorb as much as you can throughout the summer. You will learn so much about different lines of service, different technical information within each line of service, and so much more. Also don't be afraid to talk to people, use the summer as a chance to grow your network.
