Grant Thornton

Intern Audit & Assurance

June - August 2022 • Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia

What I liked

I really enjoyed working with the team and being able to gain some hands-on experience within a very successful part of the company. I was able to compare German and American standards and learn from the differences.

What I wish was different

I would have loved for more people to show up at the office since I was working during the COVID-19 pandemic and employees were allowed to work from home. This by itself was amazing, but I would have loved to interact with my coworkers face-to-face.

Advice

Ask for help whenever you need it. As a beginner or intern, you are not automatically going to know the answer to every problem you are being faced with. The people around you are there to help you.

Rotational Summer Intern

June - July 2023 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

It was a great opportunity to Network with current employees as well as rising professionals.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more opportunities to work from home rather than coming into office 5 days a week.

Advice

Go in open-minded and make sure to network with as many people as possible. The internship is only 4 weeks, so it is important to make the most of it.
