Assurance Intern
June - August 2021 • Philadelphia, PA
What I liked
I enjoyed working with a team of like-minded individuals. I also enjoyed working by myself more than I had anticipated.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have made more connections. My internship was fully virtual and I was only able to go into the office once, so I did not get to have very impactful conversations with my peers.
Advice
Ask a ton of questions! People get scared to ask questions because it may seem like you are bugging your team, but it really just shows that you are trying to do your work to the best of your ability.

Advance Intern
June - August 2021 • Dallas, TX
What I liked
I enjoyed spending time learning about the employees of PwC and the path they took to get there. The internship incorporated making connections with my engagement team and other interns while also learning and utilizing data analytics tools Excel, Tableau, UI Path, and Alteryx. PwC cares about your mental health and balances work and social life and provides plenty of breaks.
What I wish was different
The only thing about my internship that I wish I could change was the fact that it was virtual. This is due to the pandemic before the vaccine and should no longer be a concern. It was still a great experience but I would have completed the internship in person if I had the option to get the full experience.
Advice
Always ask questions and communicate with your leader if you're stuck or have any questions at all. The internship includes training because they know not everyone knows how to use the data analytic tools yet. It's okay to ask questions, almost every intern is seeing some of the things we learned during the internship for the first time. They don't expect us to be perfect. So don't be afraid to ask questions!!
