Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • Melville, NY

What I liked

The work environment was great. PwC is a firm that practices the culture they preach. They really put in the effort to train their interns and get them working on clients as soon as possible.

What I wish was different

The training was a little dull and repetitive at times, but once client work began I understood why- these concepts were being hammered in for a reason.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask any questions. Put yourself out there and members of the firm will recognize/appreciate it. Being vocal and showing your interest does not go unnoticed.

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.

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.
