Transfer pricing intern

June - August 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

I liked getting to experience the accounting community at one of the big 4. I got to learn company culture and pleasantly learned EY is really big on diversity and inclusion which had made me feel welcomed in corporate America. I got to do real work in a team and contribute the valuable skills I learned at the UW classrooms.

What I wish was different

I wish they offered me a bus pass for the summer.

Advice

Come ready to absorb all the wonderful things the company can offer, and also be ready to show off the skills you learned!

Forensic and Integrity Services Intern

June - August 2019 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I really loved the people and the forensic work that I was doing. I was able to travel every week for my engagements, and EY was extremely accommodating and helpful when it came to this process.

What I wish was different

I wish that I wouldn’t have had to go to DC in order to take the position if I was going to be traveling regardless; however, I really enjoyed the experience either way. Also, I wish there was more negotiations available to interns for their full time offers.

Advice

My biggest piece of advice is to network like crazy, and to never be afraid to ask for help. EY is hiring based off of personality not technical skills. Make sure that you’re putting your real self out there because people always love that the most. They teach you everything else.

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.

June - August 2019 • San Diego, CA

What I liked

How you automatically gained a new family. Events every week, sports teams, and a great support system.

What I wish was different

Being rated my first week at the internship

Advice

Make sure you are good at basic administrative tasks such as Excel. They say they teach you ahead of time, but in my experience at the San Diego location, they expect you to have a good understanding going into the internship.

Each assignment is different, so experiences vary a lot.

Tax Intern

June - August 2019 • Hoboken, NJ

What I liked

The communication I was able to have with other team members. Coworkers we were both young and old conversed with me and gave me the opportunity to ask about their careers and my potential future.

Advice

Try to meet as many people as possible and get a feel of how the firm works with you.

Assurance Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I had the opportunity to participate in a variety of firm events such as community service, presentations from firm leadership, and an international intern conference in Disney World.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to spend more time with other interns, but I enjoyed getting to know the other people on my team.

Advice

When you have questions on a project, do as much work as you can without asking the question, compile all of your questions in a list, and then ask them all at once. This mitigates the amount of times you will need to ask for help, and your organization will greatly benefit your team.

Tax Intern Financial Services

June - August 2019 • Philadelphia, PA

What I liked

I loved the entire experience, I loved starting the job training in Dallas, Texas and ending the internship with a trip to Orlando, Florida. Although there was a lot of hard work between these trips and I was very overwhelmed at first, everyone on my engagements was very helpful teaching me the job and very patient if I was wrong as long as I tried my best everyday.

What I wish was different

I wish I was closer to my job, I ended up commuting over an hour to get to work each day from outside of West Chester. Other than that the interview process was very stressful but entirely worth it in the end.

Advice

Although you may feel you are struggling or not doing good enough, as long as you put in your best effort everyday, the teams will notice and help you through.

IT Audit Intern

June - August 2019 • San Antonio, TX

What I liked

EY invested so much into me, helping me to become not only a better employee, but also a better person. I participated in a purpose workshop with calls every few weeks during the course of the internship. This led me to realize that my true passion in the workforce is to bring people joy through technology.
