When you're doing an internship be as curious as possible! My supervisors constantly told me to ask more questions in order to understand my assignments better.

Risk Consulting Intern
June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA
What I liked
Very structured internship with lots of resources to help me. I had an on-boarding adviser who is 2-3 years into his career. He was my go to guy for day to day questions. I also had a career counselor who is further into his career and he is there to help me navigate through the complex corporate structure at Deloitte.
I also had the freedom to explore the different functions within Advisory. I gained a better understanding of all the services Deloitte advisory had to offer.
What I wish was different
I wish there was a structured way of rotational experience. I had to personally network with professionals from the different functions in order to get those shadowing experiences. It would help new hires have a better understanding of the full breadth and depth of Deloitte service offerings if they get to experience the different functions first hand through a structured rotational program.
Advice
Take control of your internship experience. They say in the hierarchical system, interns are at the top. People seldom would say no to an intern so take full advantage of that. If you want changes to happen you should be proactive about it.

Pioneer Intern
June - July 2018 • San Jose, CA
What I liked
I liked that I was treated less like an intern, and more like a regular employee. Everyone was willing to teach me something new, and what I did was very flexible and wasn't set in stone.
What I wish was different
I wish I had had more experiences that were hands on since I spent a lot of time simply watching what full time employees were doing.
Advice
I would suggest trying to get to know everyone you encounter, even if they are in a field you aren't interested in because they all have valuable lessons to offer.

Accounting Intern
June - July 2018 • Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ
What I liked
I loved being able to meet people from different schools from all over the country and being able to experience the program with them. I also liked being able to expand my network of professionals and fellow peers during my experience.
What I wish was different
I wish I had gotten more of an understanding of the advisory side of Accounting. I was only really exposed to the tax (specifically Business Tax Services) component of Deloitte's service lines.
Advice
I would make sure to talk to as many people as you can and ask them about what they do and how you can improve as an intern.

Technology Risk Advisory Intern
June - July 2018 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I liked working for a large firm. I also had a lot of work to do which made me feel like I was getting a realistic overview of what working at the firm was like.
What I wish was different
I had a hard time understanding the broader implications of the project I was on and the work I was doing.
Advice
Be open minded. In the beginning, you are going to be assigned to work, and you may not have much of a say about what you want to do. However, you may surprise yourself with what your skills are and what you enjoy.

Consulting Intern
June - August 2018 • Denver, CO
What I liked
I loved the ability to travel, to work on projects that mattered, and to live a lifestyle I had never seen before.
What I wish was different
I wish that my day-to-day experiences had been different a bit. I struggled with the notion that I wasn't making an impact within my firm due to the mundane tasks I was assigned. I wish I was able to take ownership of a certain item.
Advice
Internships are the best way to secure a full-time offer due to the fact that most interns are asked to return. Junior year, work so hard to secure an internship, and then the full-time offer will be practically given to you.

Tax Intern
June - August 2018 • Portland, OR
What I liked
Big four firm in a smaller market means a tighter knit department. At Deloitte Portland, I met the entire office and felt a connection to every other employee there (at least in the Tax department). I was even able to meet a good majority of the audit side of the office. It made me feel really welcome into an industry where I had no prior experience. I also felt as if I was not just a temporary employee for the entire 8 weeks I was there. They gave me responsibilities any other first-year would have. It made me feel good that they trusted me with handling the same kind of work that others did.
What I wish was different
Advice
Put in overtime! Experience as many projects as possible because it only helps you out more once classes come around and you've already heard of such concepts. It gives you more exposure to different engagements that you may encounter in your later professional life.

What I liked
Deloitte treats interns very well. We had a lot of independence and responsibility as well as many opportunities to build our network.
What I wish was different
Advice
It's a good idea to go to on-campus career fairs and talk to recruiters directly because so much of Deloitte's recruiting is done on a campus level.

Risk Advisory Intern
June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA
What I liked
My team was very open and integrated me into many processes. I learned about nearly every aspect of what they do in a very short amount of time due to the training program they put together for me.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more time to make a bigger impact, learn more, and spend more time with my team.
Advice
Try everything. Even if you think you don't have the skills to do a task they assigned you, just try. They wouldn't assign it to you if they thought you couldn't handle it and you can always ASK QUESTIONS.
