Deloitte

Technology Summer Scholar

July 2020 • Washington, DC

What I liked

Very cool to get incite into what consulting is and to take part in a technology implementation pitch.

What I wish was different

The internship was shortened to 2-weeks and was fully remote due to COVID-19. I wish the experience had been in person but understandable given the time.

Advice

Deloitte is all about networking so definitely start networking right away! It will help you get placed on better projects going into full-time.

What I liked

The internship was very organized and even though remote jammed pack sessions and I learned a lot. Biggest take away was the networking sessions and advice.

What I wish was different

Due to COVID cut to a two week remote internship. I wish it was longer and we were able to work on a more specific technology project.

Advice

Take advantage of all the networking sessions, they are super helpful and will help build connections.

Audit Intern

July 2020 • McLean, VA

What I liked

Cool experience that had to be shortened and altered due to quarantine. Deloitte did a great job of transforming a 10 week in person internship into a 2 week online experience where I felt like I still took away a lot from.

What I wish was different

I wish it could have been in person of course.

Advice

Do your best to network. It’s hard to interact online, but stay engaged.

audit & assurance staff intern

July 2020 • Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ

What I liked

The organization of the internship and that Deloitte went out their way to schedule workshops, learning sessions, and virtual social activities.

What I wish was different

That it was not virtual and only 2 weeks, but because of Covid-19 there was really no other option

Advice

Enjoy it and do your best to stand out. In person it is easy to get lost in the crowd and virtually it is even easier. Commit to the internship; have your camera on, ask questions, sleep well the night before, test your technology, and make the best of the situation.

Discovery Intern

July 2020 • Stamford, CT

What I liked

I enjoyed how they made the most out of this internship after having to condense it from an in-person 8 week internship to a 2 week virtual internship. We heard from people with different fields from offices all across the country. The case project we worked on was intriguing and helped us learn how accounting professionals use their knowledge and apply it to their work.

Public Accounting Intern

July 2020 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I loved how I got the opportunity to not only meet so many different professionals but gain knowledge on the different service lines and which ones fit best with me. I also really appreciated the guidance I received and I overall felt very welcomed even though it was a virtual experience.

What I wish was different

The only thing I wished that could have been different was the virtual part, which no one had any control over. I was definitely so excited to fully immerse myself in the culture at Deloitte, but I do think they did a great job with showing as much as they could virtually and making sure interns got the most out of their experiences.

Advice

I would encourage others to not be afraid to reach out to the professionals in the company that speak to you or even those that don't get the opportunity to do so because they all are so willing to share their experiences and give you advice in this critical time in your life. So, never think that people wont want to talk to you or that they are too busy, you should at least try to make those connections.

Audit Intern

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

If you want to get an accounting internship, do the Early Recruitment Program (formerly the Matching Program). It is the absolute best way to network with different accounting firms. It also makes the entire interview process a lot easier because all of the firms are on the same timeline. You will not have a situation where you have a deadline to accept an internship that falls before you have heard back from a different employer.

Deloitte is an amazing place to work! Would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the finance and consulting space.

Dicovery Intern

May - August 2019 • Stamford, CT

What I liked

My internship experience at Deloitte was a great experience. I like the fact that i get to work with Deloitte profesionals and also gained real life tax and audit practice experience. I spent my first one month interning in tax and second month interning in audit. The experience introduced me to Deloitte culture, expanded my profesional network, and provided me with more insight about different departments and the types of services that Deloitte provides to its clients.

What I wish was different

n/a

Advice

This experience is great for any accounting or finance students who are not sure about what they really want. This experience would introduce students to several Deloittes dapertaments and the different type of public accounting services that Deloitte provide to its clients. Discovery internship allows student to explore all these services and then decide based on their experience what accounting practice and department they would be leaning towards going forward.
