Liked the different levels of exposure I had to different sizes and types of clientele.
What I wish was different
Wish there would've been more intern-to-intern interaction within my department.
Advice
I would advise someone to take full advantage of this experience, it is definitely worth pursuing but know your service line well before you apply to best fit your personal preferences.

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.

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.

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!!

Financial Assurance Intern
June - August 2019 • Stamford, CT
What I liked
I learned more in this internship than any other one I have experienced. My team worked directly with me often and wanted to teach me. Through their teaching and also through them assigning me value adding, challenging work, I immensely improved not only my excel skills and auditing knowledge, but also improved my confidence in a working environment.

Auditing Intern
June - August 2019 • Boston, MA
What I liked
The teams that I worked with were excellent and I was fortunate enough to receive the work of an associate in busy season during the summer as I got to work with a project team.
What I wish was different
Nothing! I had a great experience with EY this summer.
Advice
I would recommend that you keep yourself busy at this job during the summer as an intern. If you don't currently have something to work on, make sure you are asking around and finding something because there is never a time when there is absolutely nothing you can do.

Advice
Take advantage of people you know. Don't shy away from making connections and talking to people about your experiences. I was the only intern from Gordon, so I really had to take advantage of putting myself out there to make connections -- because they didn't come naturally to me.
