Audit Intern
June - August 2022 • Philadelphia, PA
What I liked
The process of interviewing was quick. I applied for the internship through handshake and then 2 weeks later I received a first round interview through EY's url sent in an email. Then I was offered another interview and talked to two people through Microsoft teams. Then a couple days later I received a phone call receiving the internship offer. Then during the internship the Seniors made learning very stress free. In addition, there were many internship events to help network with the rest of the interns.
What I wish was different
I honestly don't wish anything went different. Handshake made applying for various jobs very easy and I got multiple offers.
Advice
One piece of advice to share about my experience is to be yourself. This goes a long way because it makes interviews flow a lot smoother and they picked you to interview because they were interested. Also make your interview a conversation rather than one sided by the employer asking all the questions and then just giving a response.

Accountant Intern
June - August 2022 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
I love the environment of EY. All the staff are willing to help you in any way they can, and they encourage asking questions. They have many different service lines so we aren’t restricted to traditional tax or audit positions, I found that very welcoming even though I want to do audit. The firm has events where they provide catering or even tickets to a game, we went to a Dodgers game over the summer.
What I wish was different
I do wish that we had more extensive training on service lines, rather than the trial by fire approach. Although experience is the best teacher, the one day spent in training developing knowledge on service lines felt like it was rushed, though I understand that doing the work will ultimately help you decide what service line you end up in.
Advice
Accounting is definitely a team sport, and teams work better when they are motivated by positivity and goal orientation. I believe that if you have these qualities in addition to qualifying skills, you will be a perfect fit.

Assurance Intern
June - August 2021 • Boston, MA
What I liked
I really enjoyed working as a team and learning from mentors.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been able to be in person more. Unfortunately, due to Covid, I was only able to go into the office in person for 1 week, and I never got the chance to visit a client's office.
Advice
Never be afraid to ask for help! Asking for help is something that I have struggled with in the past, but I found that I learned the most when I reached out to my team and asked them to walk me through steps I was confused on.

Utilize the immense resources and networking opportunities. It is really an amazing place to intern.

Consulting Intern
June - September 2022 • Detroit, MI
What I liked
Their willingness to teach you and help you grow throughout the internship.
What I wish was different
The onboarding, as it can get a bit exhaustive and generally is not specified towards what you will actually be doing.
Advice
I would suggest you to have the internship in person as it creates a much better relationship with the teams you work with.

Launch Intern
June - August 2022 • McLean, VA
What I liked
I really liked the community feeling I experienced with EY. Everyone was eager to help me network within the program, sit into meetings and information sessions, and to give me work that gave a taste of what I will experience when I get into the workforce. It was a great learning experience and community, and I hope to intern with them again!
What I wish was different
I do wish that some aspects like assigned work and our role as an intern within the team, were a little more clearly defined, however, if you ask questions and involve yourself in the conversation, you'll have enough opportunities and work that it isn't always a concern
Advice
Put yourself out there. If you aren't looking for work today and experiences to gain you're wasting your time with this internship, EY wants to see you grow and you have to take hold of the opportunity you've been given

Launch Intern
June - August 2021 • Detroit, MI
What I liked
I loved the ability to be a part of a rotational program where I got experience in tax, audit, and consulting. I was able to contribute to my engagement teams and sit in on team/client meetings! I was able to learn so much about the field from this internship that I can now apply to the classroom!
What I wish was different
I wish there was more of an ability to do work in the office. The internship was a hybrid setup. Although I was always able to go into the office myself, my engagement team didn’t necessarily always want to work in person.
Advice
Network, network, network!!! There is so much to learn from others, and everyone truly wants to see you succeed! People’s doors are always open to talk. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, because everyone is always so eager to answer them and it’s such a great opportunity to learn.
