EY

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!

Audit Intern

June - August 2019 • Irvine, CA

What I liked

I loved the work I did, the people I worked with, and the clients I worked on. They also sent us to Orlando, Florida for a week for a conference and we got to go to Disneyworld.

What I wish was different

There was quite a bit of down time where they didn't have anything for the interns to do so there were times where I didn't have anything to do.

Advice

Always have a positive attitude, always be willing to stay late if they need you, always be willing to learn and ask questions.

Nothing

One piece of advice that I would share about this experience is to make sure that you make as many connections as possible in the short period and try to soak up the most information too! Be open minded and enjoy.

FSO Assurance Summer Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

EY really made this internship experience memorable! Not only was everyone I encountered super friendly and willing to answer any questions I had, but EY also hosted a lot of networking events to allow me to network and meet many people in the company. The one week training program was very beneficial in getting me familiar with what kind of work I would be doing on a day to day basis and, once assigned to a team, my team was very helpful in walking me through the audit process so that I understood why I was assigned specific tasks.

What I wish was different

Advice

I would say definitely ask any questions you have and don't be afraid to reach out to anyone in the company to get to know them and what brought them to EY! Just be yourself!!

Public Accounting Intern

June - August 2019 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

It was great to get real world public accounting experience. I had no idea what I would be doing in my career after college, but being an intern gave me an idea of what to expect.

What I wish was different

I do wish there was more structure and guidance. Often, I would be thrown into an audit engagement and would have to depend on my audit team to teach me. Depending on the team I was paired with, I could learn a lot or hardly anything.

Advice

I would let anyone who is interested in interning with a public accounting firm know that they should act enthusiastic throughout the experience. The firm expects you to not know anything when you enter, so they depend on you to be willing to learn.

Auditing Intern

June - August 2018 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

The people were really inviting and nice. The work environment was not very stressful (also being summer low season). Working with a lot of different teams.

What I wish was different

Being able to experience different sectors of the firm. I only had a chance to do auditing, but I wish I could have also tried out tax and advisory.

Transaction Advisory Services Intern

June - August 2019 • Seoul, South Korea

What I liked

I liked the fact that all the projects were done through teamwork and allowed to me realize I prefer an environment where teamwork is a vital part of success.

What I wish was different

I do wish that my internship was in an environment where I would be working full time since the working environment in Korea was very different. However, I do think was a valuable experience to learn about different working cultures.

Advice

No one should ever be afraid to ask questions when they are stuck or struggling with a task. Employees enjoy interns asking questions and it will improve your skills drastically and faster than ever.
