So for my internship, we spent about three days at the very start of the internship going through a general tax training program, inclusive of all the tax lines of service (CORE, PCS, SALT, etc.). They actually flew us all out to the DC area for the training! This training touched on PwC's valu...

I am assuming this question is asked under the assumption that you will be doing some sort of technical accounting work. This is actually not the case during your Start internship. You are assigned to an Internal Firm Services (IFS) team and will complete team projects that are given by your team...

Being a Start Intern was one of the most advantageous experiences I could have the opportunity to be apart of. I was able to get early insight into both service lines that most students do not get to spend 8 weeks doing. Secondly, the training for Start I had in Atlanta was one of the best experi...

In my opinion, the most necessary asset for on to have is adaptability. Not only will you be adapting to a new country (Singapore), but you will also be dealing with multiple clients at the same time, with incredibly tight deadlines and in fields you know virtually nothing about. Being quick on y...

So when I was there, it frankly wasn't fantastic, mostly being that the cost of living in Singapore is the highest in the world. You are unlikely to finish the internship without having some sort of dependency on others. That being said, I know they have revamped the entire intern program in the ...

The work interns do is varied depending on what team within the practice they are placed with. Some will be placed on teams broken up by asset type (Consumer asset backed securities, real estate...) and some by work type (accounting advisory, tax...). I worked on structured products teams complet...

You won’t be working any crazy hours, but this is not a 9-5 job. As an intern, you can kind of control how much you want to work. The more work you ask for, the more work you’ll get. I’d say I averaged about 50-55 hours per week in the office, but I never had to work weekends. But, like I said, I...

It really depends so much on the project you are on. This is the beauty about Advisory- you are able to experience such a breadth of various roles to find what areas you may be especially passionate about or have a knack for. This wide experience is actually encouraged at PwC, because we feel it...

Organization – often times you are on 1-4 clients and you are expected to manage your own workload and transition between clients seamlessly. Flexibility – hours can vary as well as your commute. Busy season requires a lot of dedication in terms of hours during the week and on weekends. You are ...

It varies a lot depending on the type of project you're plotted on but as an associate, it would typically entail a mix of data gathering (through client's own documentation / interviews / on-site visits), report writing, business development activities (project proposal preparation, due diligenc...

The Sr Auditor position is not an entry level job, it is usually earned after 2 or 3 years of satisfactory performance in a fast pace and highly competitive environment, in which hierarchies are well- defined and high levels of commitment are the baseline expectation, specially for those working ...

A consulting intern at PwC work just like an associate: we gathered critical background information for the team, prepared deliverables like reports and presentations, and engage in discussions where we analyze the client’s current problems and determine the best way to resolve them. Depending on...

As an intern, my daily job contains two parts. One is getting necessary accounting and business records such as contracts and invoice from our clients. When you need some documents, you need to get them from your clients. As a result, good communication skill is necessary. In my projects, I also ...

The LoS (Line of Service) Advisory at PwC is very broad. Finance, falls into the management consulting area, which can then categorized into the finance sector, which means all CIPS (Consumer industrail products and services). This includes all products and services an individual can buy, excludi...

As a Valuation intern at PwC, you will primarily be working with the lower level associates and assisting them with the projects they’re working on. As an intern, you will be expected to do some grunt work from time to time, and that is the case at any company you work at. But, for the most part ...

My team was pretty flexible so I was able to come in at 9 on most days. Typically, I would be at my desk in the morning for about 15 minutes before receiving any instructions from my associate. In this time, I checked and replied to emails, did some research on our client, did research on the reg...

Many skills will be taught during the internship, such as using specific software and programs. However, communication skills (through e-mail, phone calls, and in person) and organizational skills are critical. I often was assigned multiple projects at a time that required time management in orde...

As an International Human Resources Intern, your main roles are to assist the HR teams, (whether its Campus Recruitment, Lateral, or Global Mobility) and ensure ease and fluidity among their responsibilities. For example, when working with Campus Recruitment, the interns' responsibility was to an...

While it may be difficult to accept a full-time offer due to international regulations, don't let this deter you from giving 110% into your work and assigned projects. Make sure to soak everything up like a sponge and continue to ask questions to obtain a better understanding of the team's respon...
