Deloitte

Risk Consulting Intern

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

Very structured internship with lots of resources to help me. I had an on-boarding adviser who is 2-3 years into his career. He was my go to guy for day to day questions. I also had a career counselor who is further into his career and he is there to help me navigate through the complex corporate structure at Deloitte. I also had the freedom to explore the different functions within Advisory. I gained a better understanding of all the services Deloitte advisory had to offer.

What I wish was different

I wish there was a structured way of rotational experience. I had to personally network with professionals from the different functions in order to get those shadowing experiences. It would help new hires have a better understanding of the full breadth and depth of Deloitte service offerings if they get to experience the different functions first hand through a structured rotational program.

Advice

Take control of your internship experience. They say in the hierarchical system, interns are at the top. People seldom would say no to an intern so take full advantage of that. If you want changes to happen you should be proactive about it.

Pioneer Intern

June - July 2018 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I liked that I was treated less like an intern, and more like a regular employee. Everyone was willing to teach me something new, and what I did was very flexible and wasn't set in stone.

What I wish was different

I wish I had had more experiences that were hands on since I spent a lot of time simply watching what full time employees were doing.

Advice

I would suggest trying to get to know everyone you encounter, even if they are in a field you aren't interested in because they all have valuable lessons to offer.

Accounting Intern

June - July 2018 • Parsippany-Troy Hills, NJ

What I liked

I loved being able to meet people from different schools from all over the country and being able to experience the program with them. I also liked being able to expand my network of professionals and fellow peers during my experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I had gotten more of an understanding of the advisory side of Accounting. I was only really exposed to the tax (specifically Business Tax Services) component of Deloitte's service lines.

Advice

I would make sure to talk to as many people as you can and ask them about what they do and how you can improve as an intern.

Consulting Intern

June - August 2018 • Denver, CO

What I liked

I loved the ability to travel, to work on projects that mattered, and to live a lifestyle I had never seen before.

What I wish was different

I wish that my day-to-day experiences had been different a bit. I struggled with the notion that I wasn't making an impact within my firm due to the mundane tasks I was assigned. I wish I was able to take ownership of a certain item.

Advice

Internships are the best way to secure a full-time offer due to the fact that most interns are asked to return. Junior year, work so hard to secure an internship, and then the full-time offer will be practically given to you.

June - August 2018 • Tel Aviv-Yafo, Gush Dan

The mentorship of staff, networking opportunities, interesting and challenging work

What I wish was different

Tax Intern

June - August 2018 • Portland, OR

What I liked

Big four firm in a smaller market means a tighter knit department. At Deloitte Portland, I met the entire office and felt a connection to every other employee there (at least in the Tax department). I was even able to meet a good majority of the audit side of the office. It made me feel really welcome into an industry where I had no prior experience. I also felt as if I was not just a temporary employee for the entire 8 weeks I was there. They gave me responsibilities any other first-year would have. It made me feel good that they trusted me with handling the same kind of work that others did.

What I wish was different

Advice

Put in overtime! Experience as many projects as possible because it only helps you out more once classes come around and you've already heard of such concepts. It gives you more exposure to different engagements that you may encounter in your later professional life.

Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I liked how many trainings were provided in various ways throughout my internship. I learned about the culture of the firm and the people who I met were sharp and generous professionals.

What I wish was different

I wish I could utilize the social event better to network with people from different service groups.

Advice

Show up to work prepared, ask questions frequently, and have the right attitude, then you will be offered a full-time position.

Data Science Summer Scholar

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Deloitte treats interns very well. We had a lot of independence and responsibility as well as many opportunities to build our network.

What I wish was different

Advice

It's a good idea to go to on-campus career fairs and talk to recruiters directly because so much of Deloitte's recruiting is done on a campus level.

Risk Advisory Intern

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

My team was very open and integrated me into many processes. I learned about nearly every aspect of what they do in a very short amount of time due to the training program they put together for me.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more time to make a bigger impact, learn more, and spend more time with my team.

Advice

Try everything. Even if you think you don't have the skills to do a task they assigned you, just try. They wouldn't assign it to you if they thought you couldn't handle it and you can always ASK QUESTIONS.

Discovery intern

June - August 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

I loved this internship. It is an exploratory internship and it allowed me to experience two different service lines within Deloitte which essentially led me to choose the service line I fit into.

What I wish was different

I wish it were a bit longer!

Advice

Take advantages of the networking opportunities and connect with as many professionals as possible because you have the most amount of time to integrate with the company.

Audit Intern

June - August 2018 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

It was a great experience. I liked working on a team.

What I wish was different

Nothing - it was perfect.

Advice

Go into it with an open mind. A lot of what you learn in school isn't necessarily pertaining to what auditors do. That being said, it does give you a basis of accounting and a familiarity with the concepts, as well as the financial statements.

Audit and Assurance intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

How easy it was to network with other interns, Deloitte does an incredible job of providing interns with networking opportunities. My team as well was so incredibly nice and accommodating, never once did I feel like I was a pain or less than. I truly felt like I was part of a team.

What I wish was different

I wish it was longer, it went by so quickly!

Advice

Try to conquer your fear of networking and try your best not to be shy. I found that the best way to make a positive impact at Deloitte is not being afraid to have a conversation with somebody. The most important thing Deloitte professionals are looking for in their interns is how well they fit into the Deloitte culture. Also, take full advantage of all the services at Deloitte University, and eat all the food!
