IFS Intern
June - July 2018 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
I enjoyed my time at PwC because it exposed me to different lines of service and different people with varying experiences. I worked at the Data Center and I learnt a lot about technology and how information is processed.
I was given an awesome career coach, peer coach, and relationship leader who was a partner. I enjoyed meeting them over lunch and discussing my future. They all had valuable advice that I’ll always remember.
What I wish was different
Longer timeframe.
Advice
Don’t be afraid to meet people and ask about their experiences while you’re on the job. Everyone is willing to share because they’ve been where you are.
Also keep in contact with your growing networks!! Don’t grow them and leave them. Always catch them up to your progress.

Technology Consultant
June - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
I enjoyed the team atmosphere and the confidence PwC had in me to put me on one of their biggest clients. I had little to no technology experience, but I was in an environment surrounded by brilliant people who were able to explain the process of the ERP implementation. By the end, I was able to train consultants who needed to be brought up to speed on our project and responsibilities.
What I wish was different
I had a wonderful experience and there is not much that I would change.
Advice
Adjust your expectations before starting an internship. As an intern, you are there to help the team and if you come in believing you will have a super crucial or vital role on a team then you will be sadly mistaken. With internships only last 8-10 weeks it is hard to allow the intern to become completely ingrained in the workflow of the team. Allow yourself to be available and willing to take on work whenever applicable, but do not be discouraged if you are not constantly busy. Use the time when you are not busy to do gain knowledge and access materials about your client, project, or company.

Assurance Intern
June - August 2018 • Pittsburgh, PA
What I liked
I had so much exposure to the audit process and had many opportunities to perform work on my own. While everyone on my team was very helpful, interns are expected to complete work on their own to the best of their ability before asking questions. I was given the opportunity to work on quarter tie-outs toward the end of the internship. I learned a lot about the client and all aspects of auditing.
What I wish was different
I would have liked to have spent more time on a different client. I spent the majority of my summer on the same client.
Advice
Never be afraid to ask questions. Everyone in public accounting has been in your shoes, and they understand that you will have many questions about what you are doing!

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA
What I liked
I got exposure to real life cyber security practices, bug bounty work, and a lot of independence. Interning for a tech consulting role was valuable because I was able to see the culture of the firm, but also work on site and see the culture of my client, which was a big tech company.
What I wish was different
I had hoped for my software development exposure and I did not get very much. What I did was mostly a project I proposed.
Advice
Great opportunity to develop both soft and technical skills. The company has a lot of really nice perks and they realllly want to give all their interns full time offers.
