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.

IFS Intern

June - July 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I enjoyed my time at PwC because it exposed me to different lines of service and different people with varying experiences. I worked at the Data Center and I learnt a lot about technology and how information is processed. I was given an awesome career coach, peer coach, and relationship leader who was a partner. I enjoyed meeting them over lunch and discussing my future. They all had valuable advice that I’ll always remember.

What I wish was different

Longer timeframe.

Advice

Don’t be afraid to meet people and ask about their experiences while you’re on the job. Everyone is willing to share because they’ve been where you are. Also keep in contact with your growing networks!! Don’t grow them and leave them. Always catch them up to your progress.

Technology Consultant

June - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I enjoyed the team atmosphere and the confidence PwC had in me to put me on one of their biggest clients. I had little to no technology experience, but I was in an environment surrounded by brilliant people who were able to explain the process of the ERP implementation. By the end, I was able to train consultants who needed to be brought up to speed on our project and responsibilities.

What I wish was different

I had a wonderful experience and there is not much that I would change.

Advice

Adjust your expectations before starting an internship. As an intern, you are there to help the team and if you come in believing you will have a super crucial or vital role on a team then you will be sadly mistaken. With internships only last 8-10 weeks it is hard to allow the intern to become completely ingrained in the workflow of the team. Allow yourself to be available and willing to take on work whenever applicable, but do not be discouraged if you are not constantly busy. Use the time when you are not busy to do gain knowledge and access materials about your client, project, or company.

Assurance Intern

June - August 2018 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

I had so much exposure to the audit process and had many opportunities to perform work on my own. While everyone on my team was very helpful, interns are expected to complete work on their own to the best of their ability before asking questions. I was given the opportunity to work on quarter tie-outs toward the end of the internship. I learned a lot about the client and all aspects of auditing.

What I wish was different

I would have liked to have spent more time on a different client. I spent the majority of my summer on the same client.

Advice

Never be afraid to ask questions. Everyone in public accounting has been in your shoes, and they understand that you will have many questions about what you are doing!
