Megan on PwC
“I feel that I
have learned so much from my internship with PwC. Although I spent my entire
time with the firm on the Allegheny Energy engagement in Greensburg, I was given
more of a chance to get to know my co-workers, as well as to work on a variety
of assignments. In getting to participate in year end financial audit work, as
well as Sarbanes Oxley Section 404 work, I was able to get quite an overview of
what public accounting is all about. I now feel more confident in my decision
to go into public accounting, and I feel that I will have a much smoother
transition from college to the workforce after I graduate next year. In
addition, I thoroughly enjoyed the social events in which I was able to
participate, both with the engagement team as well as with the other interns,
and I feel privileged to have met and worked with some great people.”
