PwC

International Tax Services - Quantitative Solutions Intern

June - August 2017 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I liked that I was thrown right into real projects and client work and was able to see what my role as a full-time employee would be. I loved working with my team. PwC has a lot of great people.

What I wish was different

I mostly worked on one large client over the course of the internship and I would have liked to get a little bit more diverse experience. Depending on what department you work in and what time of year it is, the workload and clients vary, so it's a little different for everyone.

Advice

Try your best to apply yourself and use the internship as an opportunity to expand your network. If you have a hard time finding client work from your manager or team, go to your buddy or other people in your department and see if you can assist them on any client work.

Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • Melville, NY

What I liked

The work environment was great. PwC is a firm that practices the culture they preach. They really put in the effort to train their interns and get them working on clients as soon as possible.

What I wish was different

The training was a little dull and repetitive at times, but once client work began I understood why- these concepts were being hammered in for a reason.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask any questions. Put yourself out there and members of the firm will recognize/appreciate it. Being vocal and showing your interest does not go unnoticed.

What I liked

I got to rotate through the many lines of service the PwC firm has to offer and get to see what type of work I like and I would want to continue pursuing in the future.
