Risk and Financial Advisory

June - August 2018 • Portland, OR

What I liked

I really liked the training we were able to go to in Texas and Washington. I was able to work on different clients and see the different nuances of each different case.

What I wish was different

I wish it had been longer! It was the perfect amount of time because I am studying abroad fall term, and my school started early. Just to get more experience, I wish it was a little longer.

Advice

Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone! I was in a new place almost every day, and met new people almost every day. Introduce yourself and don't be afraid to ask questions!

Audit Intern

July - August 2018 • Beijing, China

What I liked

I like to work as a part of team with people from diverse background. I got to speak and communicate with the client company's people, trying to understand how their business work, and at the same time question myself whether the number on their financial statements match the detailed records. I also like the environment of learning since I can get feedbacks from what I see as improvements that can make, and my client would certainly be appreciate with that.

What I wish was different

I wish I could get to know more about other related industry such as management consulting, finance, etc.

Advice

Be well-prepared for the fast-paced environment. It's challenging but you always get a chance to learn technical skills, to meet new people, to build your own network, to develop yourself in a professional way.

Tax Intern

June - August 2018 • San Jose, CA

Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • Princeton, NJ

What I liked

It was an amazing experience doing real, hands on work. I worked with professionals that were patient with me and eager to help me succeed. Deloitte has given me so many incredible opportunities and I can't wait to see where my future takes me with this company!

What I wish was different

Although I loved my engagement team and the client I was assigned to, I wish I had the opportunity to work for different clients to get a better understanding of what I am passionate about.

Advice

Don't be intimated because Deloitte is one of the Big Fours. I have heard from a lot of Ramapo students that since they go to a small school, they will not like working at a big company. I am so happy that I took the risk and applied for Deloitte because the rewards have been endless. I honestly could not have chosen a better company to start my career with!

Audit Intern

June - August 2017 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I loved how the culture around interns is, you feel valued and a part of the team, not like the bottom of the food chain. You have lots of networking events where you will find more than half the partners of the firm attending. They are interested in getting to know the newcomers and will take the time out of their day to have lunch with the interns and meet them. The team I was assigned felt very united and comfortable working together, I didn't know what to expect since Deloitte is a large company but they made a great effort at making sure everyone feels welcomed. We got to spend a couple days in Texas at Deloitte University which was an incredible facility and experience, they have all the tools to ensure they give you everything you need to be successful. One of the great parts is the on-boarding buddy and mentors you are assigned at the beginning, they are your go-to for everything and really help the process of starting a new job and getting acclimated.

What I wish was different

In all honestly, I had a great experience and I couldn't really point out one more thing that could have better except wishing I could have worked longer than 8 weeks.

Advice

Do the most that you can. Take advantage of every networking and social event to meet all the people in the firm. Reach out to managers and partners, ask them if they want to get lunch with you one day, chances are if they're not busy they would love too, and this is the best way to get hands on one on one knowledge about the company you might work for.

What I wish was different

Nothing, the internship allowed me to see what it would be like to work in public accounting.

Advice

Always write down instructions and don't be afraid to ask for timely help if you have given an honest effort at solving a problem. Make sure you communicate any changes in a situation. Be social and network whenever you get the chance.

June - August 2017 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Thought it was a great place to learn and meet a ton of new people. Great events and initiatives for younger team members.

What I wish was different

The project and actual work was a bit dry as it was in a fairly obscure city and most of the team was ready to be done with the project.

Advice

Do your research before applying. If I would’ve been passionate about the work, I think I really would’ve enjoyed it.

Intern

May - June 2017 • Beijing, China

What I liked

Deloitte has very fast paced and task oriented works. Although I was Ann intern, I felt like a full time employee. I learned a lot of consulting skills.

What I wish was different

I wish that Deloitte keeps the outstanding interns in contact. Deloitte has it’s appraisal form, but I think that it only assess the intern’s performance; I wish it has a section for the supervisor to fill out if he or she wants the intern works again for Deloitte (or any question that has such indication).

Advice

Be ready to work overtime the first day at work.

What I wish was different

My experience was different because I was on a team with 2 other interns, but I wish I had an opportunity to take more stake in substantive and impactful work.

Audit CTB Intern

June - July 2017 • Dublin, Ireland

What I liked

During my internship I was exposed to many of the facets of the day-to-day life as an auditor in a Big Four firm. In class, we learn about accounting laws and concepts, and at work is when they actually get to apply them. I did my internship outside of the U.S., but accounting is quite universal. The people I worked with were very friendly and helpful and wanted to help me learn as a business professional while also learning to get a grasp of the job.

What I wish was different

I wish it was longer! My internship was six weeks, but I wish it could have been 8-10 weeks instead.

Advice

Go into it with a positive attitude and willingness to learn, and also gain as much information that you can to help you decide if this is what you'd like to do in the future (while building connections with others on the job).
