PwC

Assurance Intern

June - August 2018 • Cleveland, OH

What I liked

Overall, I enjoyed my entire internship. From training to being at 3 different client sites to Networking events, it was all a great experience. I learned so much through the work I was doing, but most importantly networked with so many great individuals within the firm.

What I wish was different

There isn't much I wish was different, maybe that it could have been a week or so longer.

Advice

Ask as many questions as you can. Some of the work is really hard for an intern, but that is because you are actually helping them out and not just doing busy work. Also, network as much as possible.

Core Assurance Intern

June - August 2018 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I loved the company atmosphere and seeing directly how PwC professionals live out the company's core values.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have been given a rotational program opportunity, but I did have great opportunities to network with professionals from different industries.

Advice

I would advise people to take advantage of every resource offered by the Gies College of Business to help find an internship and full-time offer. If I hadn't used one of the resources to prepare, I honestly do not think I would be in the same position that I am today.

I liked that I was given the opportunity to intern with different teams throughout my internship to get a broader experience.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had more time and also I wish I had scheduled meetings with all the partners at PwC, Rwanda so as to get the most out my internship.

Advice

I was allowed to move from team to team because I expressed my need to do so. Therefore, my piece of advice would be to get out one's comfort zone and express his/her needs from the supervisor.

Cybersecurity and Privacy Summer Associate

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.
