PwC

Accounting Intern

June - August 2018 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

It gave me an amazing opportunity to network with professionals in my industry as well as others in relevant industries along with phenomenal real world job experience.

What I wish was different

I wish the experience was longer, it was 7 weeks as oppose to the typical 8-10 weeks for most internships.

Advice

It is important to take the initiative to gain access to as many experiences as possible during the course of your internship, if you have some free time go around the office and see if the associate you met in the break room needs some help on a project. Make yourself a valuable resource.

Assurance Intern

What I liked

The chance to explore the innerworkings of a public company along with applying the knowledge I had learned in class was great.

What I wish was different

I wish there'd been more guidance/explanation as to how the current task I'm doing relates to the big picture, this would've allowed me to get a better conceptual understanding of my task.

Advice

Take the time to connect with the people you are interning with, do this in every possible way you can. Be sure to ask meaningful questions for a better understanding and also take notes when being given the rundown on how to complete the task you're doing.

Transfer Pricing Intern

June - August 2019 • Phoenix, AZ

What I liked

The TP team is super supportive and office culture was very empowering. People from all lines of service are very friendly and they do a great job of exposing you to everything PwC can offer as a future employer. There are various intern activities planned during the summer to get you out of the office. There is also a great opportunity to be proactive and seek out work to really learn what the job would look like as a full time employee.

What I wish was different

Advice

Be curious and ask a lot of questions. If there is a time where you feel like you do not have a lot to do then go seek new projects/opportunities. It is a great way to learn but also will help in your evaluation at the end of the internship. Get to know the people in your team and lean on them for answers.
