Audit & Assurance Intern

June - August 2019 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I liked how structured the intern program was. From the first day to the last, there was always a clear agenda and we knew what was expected of us. There were also many opportunities to network with seniors, managers, and partners at the company. I enjoyed getting to work with 39 other people my age who had similar skill sets to me, but still pushed me to grow. My internship provided great insight into the corporate culture of Deloitte and made me excited for what's to come.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been an option to do a rotation program where we worked in audit, tax, and consulting.

Advice

My biggest piece of advice would be to talk to as many people as possible. I set up coffee and lunch meeting with employees twice a week just to hear about their experience and the steps they took to get there. Ultimately, doing this led me to switch from an audit intern to a full time position in tax.

Discovery Rotational Intern

June - August 2019 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I learned so much about the tax and audit services. There is nothing better than hands on experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I had spoken to someone who participated in the summer prior to my internship so I'd know what to expect.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask for help. Even if you think your question is stupid, they do not expect you to have much knowledge on the work you're doing. You're there to learn!

Tax Intern

June - August 2019 • San Diego, CA

What I liked

The work was interesting & challenging. The people are amazing, and you get so much experience as an intern, doing a variety of different things.

What I wish was different

I wish it could have been longer!

Advice

Definitely secure an internship prior to seeking full-time work, if you can. It’s a great introduction to your future career choice, and you make connections that you’ll resort to for the long-haul.

Business Technology Analyst

May - August 2019 • Arlington County, VA

What I liked

What I liked most about my experience interning at Deloitte was all the cool people I got the meet. Whether they were employees at the firm or the other interns it made going to work so much fun. I also liked how everyday at Deloitte was different from the one prior. Always something new to learn, and more people to meet!

What I wish was different

I sometimes wish I had reached out to more people to expand my network and actually took time to ask compelling questions that tailored to the specific people. I always wish I had spent more time learning how to use certain programs/software.

Advice

Make everyday worth it. Whether you accept the job offer or not, take these 2 months to really soak in as much information as possible and NETWORK. There are so many different types of people that work at the firm so take the time to really get yourself out there because if you do return, it'll make getting staffed on a project easy!

Discovery Intern

June - August 2019 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

I loved the location and the ability to see different industries.

What I wish was different

I wish I had a different recruiter. One that was more helpful and made the internship experience engaging.

Advice

I would negotiate the pay for location. I would have also found a new recruiter earlier. When you are recruiting, if something does not feel right about the company then do not take the offer.

Risk & Financial Advisory Intern

June - August 2019 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I absolutely loved the culture at Deloitte. The people are what make it so amazing, and truly what gave me an incredible experience. The work is refreshing and new since I was able to see multiple clients, but the teams at every client are what make the experience so great. Deloitte is an amazing place to work and I am honored to have had two internships there, and a full-time offer when I graduate.

What I wish was different

The only difference I would have liked is seeing more work in a different offering they have that I am interested in. It was not until the end that I discovered an interest, so I will most likely be able to experience that when I start working full-time.

Advice

Network, network, network. Deloitte is all about meeting new people and building business relationships with the people around you. It is really important to know people all around in order to better your team and your own work. Take advantage of the time you have with people high up, such as PPMD's (Partner, Principal, Managing Director). They love to share their story and they are full of insight. They also want the best for you and are more than happy to help you reach your goals.

Risk and Financial Advisory Intern - Securitization

June - July 2019 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

Everybody was so nice and willing to help you with any trouble you may have had. It was not an intimidating atmosphere at all and you learn so much about business in general and how to effectively multitask.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more practice modules to take before we were assigned client work, however the best way to learn is to just go straight into work.

Advice

Be prepared to learn things at a quick pace and make sure you ask a bunch of questions if you are not sure about something.

Risk and Financial Advisory Intern

June - August 2019 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I absolutely loved the firm and everybody I worked with. It was an amazing experience to get so much hands-on experience in my field and have the opportunity to network and take advantage of all the resources of a Big Four firm. I also appreciated all the speedy feedback I received from my team members. Deloitte was quick to extend a return offer at the end of my internship.

What I wish was different

I wish my internship had been longer because it was such an enjoyable experience and I would've loved an extra two weeks of client work.

Advice

Go in with a positive attitude and a desire to learn. Even if you don't have a lot of relevant experience or technical skills, those two things will get you far and enable you to succeed within the firm!

Discovery Intern

June - August 2019 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

This was an amazing opportunity to explore two sides of accounting, audit and tax. Through this internship, I got to meet a lot of amazing professionals and work with many different teams. Ultimately, it helped me decide that the Tax side of accounting is the one for me.

What I wish was different

A third rotation with advisory would have been great to see if I liked that side of accounting, but with only eight weeks to divided between three service lines can be difficult.

Advice

Talk to as many professionals as possible! While the work itself is important, getting to know the people that you will be working with in the future is crucial. They have been through the same process and have a lot of knowledge to share.

GPS Contracts Intern

June 2019 • Arlington County, VA

What I liked

The flexibility to work remote and to continue my internship through my Fall semester was the what I liked most out of my internship with Deloitte. Additionally, we had the opportunity to explore Deloitte University for a few days, which was an amazing experience and truly enriching.

What I wish was different

The assignments given were administrative at times. I wish the job was more focused within my major of finance, but it was a rewarding experience nonetheless.

Advice

The brand recognition of Deloitte on my resume has helped me in the job applying/interviewing process! Deloitte has been an amazing place to work, learn, and network with professionals in the industry.
