It was a great company culture with a great team! A lot of learning experiences and fun opportunities for "field trips."
What I wish was different
I wish it led into an opportunity for full-time permanent employment, but I know that those types of opportunities depend on many things, especially timing. Although I was offered to stay on longer, it was not as a permanent employee, and it was in a different department. Though, I believe there would have been an opportunity to stay on permanently if I had stayed a little longer.
Advice
Absolutely do it. It's a great opportunity, not to mention it paid very well for an internship! No regrets and lots of learning AND networking opportunities.

What I liked
I enjoyed that I was given real work to do. The work that I was assigned to contributed to their internal SOX control testing. I was able to learn so much about the process about auditing a company's internal controls as well as about the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
What I wish was different
I wish I had received more training on the software and the procedures beforehand.
Advice
One piece of advice I would give is to go into it with an open mind and a ready-to-learn mindset. If you do this, you'll be able to walk away with way more experience and knowledge than you would have expected.
