PAS Intern

May - July 2018 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

Not much.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had not been on such a small team and on an internal project. I understand that this was done to keep costs down for a "side project", but I didn't feel like my work was at all compelling.

Advice

You are going to meet so many people and it might help to jot down notes on names and positions.

Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I worked at one client the entire summer which allowed me to get to know my team well and develop a good understanding of my client. I was on a big client so it was interesting for me to learn about the workings of such a large company.

What I wish was different

I wish I had the chance to work with more interns. Since I spent most of my time at the client site, I did not get to work with many other interns.

Advice

It's important to go into this experience with an open mind and be willing to ask questions and learn. It may feel like there is a lot of information being thrown at you at first, but your team will be happy to answer any questions and help you understand the work you are doing.

Forensic Accounting Intern

June - August 2018 • Boston, MA

What I liked

I liked how I was really able to get the all around experience of working for a "big four" as well as working in the city. The experience showed me what my work day would be like and what travel time looked like going to the city in the morning.

What I wish was different

Nothing at all. EY does a great job of making sure not only do you get great exposure to the services they perform and the work they do, but also what their "big picture" is and how you can help them reach their goals.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about not only this experience but just internships in general, is to ask as many questions as you can. If given a task, try it for a couple minutes and if you're struggling don't hesitate to ask. The more questions you ask, the better off you will be in the future.

Forensic Technology and Discovery Services Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

They treated their interns very well and hosted a lot of intern events for team bonding and intern bonding. They also had ongoing training for the interns in my department throughout the internship to teach us new skills and help us learn more about the work, which was very useful for me. And of course, the international intern leadership conference was very fun!

What I wish was different

In the beginning they didn't seem ready for interns because they didn't have much work to give out to interns, but it got better as the internship progressed.

Advice

Make sure you use this opportunity to meet new people and talk with people in all levels!

Assurance Intern

June - August 2018 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

The variety of experiences; my assigned teams; my coworkers; the level of respect and trust that was given to me

What I wish was different

I would have liked the experience to be longer.

Advice

I would advise another student to be confident in their abilities and knowledge when entering an internship with a Big Four. It can be intimidating, but Duquesne honestly prepared me so well and I definitely know more than I even think I do.

Launch Intern

July - August 2017 • McLean, VA

What I liked

I loved the rotation between the three service lines: Tax, Advisory, & Assurance.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been able to spend more time in Tax and Advisory because I was deciding more between those two service lines for my internship this upcoming summer.

Advice

If you have an idea of what you want to do do not be afraid to tell them but also keep an open mind to other areas you might not have thought of before.

Financial Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

The working culture in EY was very collaborative, and the teams I worked on were very patient and welcoming to the interns! They taught us a lot and shared their experiences inside and outside of the work place.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship had been longer because it was only 8 weeks long, including a week of training, a week at the internship conference, and a week off for the 4th of July.

Advice

Take advantage of the resources given to you at the firm, whether it is the peer advisors and counselors or the people on your engagement team. Don't be afraid to ask questions when you're stuck, and you'll learn a lot!

Tax Intern

June - August 2018 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I had a chance to network with other interns and professionals within the field. Thus, I've learned so much about tax as well as the firm culture and people, which I'm absolutely in love with and would love to come back for full time. Also, one of the most unexpected thing is that I've met and made close friends with the interns, which I'm very grateful and happy about during and after the internship. Overall, this has been the most amazing summer and internship experience I've ever had!

What I wish was different

I wish the duration of the internship were longer, so I have a chance to learn more about the technical side of tax and the firm in general.

Advice

Be open and willing to get out of your comfort zone to reach out and expand your network with other professionals and ask as many questions as you can. Last but not least, have fun and enjoy the experience!
