The Role
I had a really great experience. Getting to know the other interns was the best part.
I had 3 different teams throughout my 5 weeks. My first team I felt very valued and included. My second the team tried to include me. My third team was quiet and not close with eachother, so I just felt like we were all on our own to some extent.
Once again, it differed by team. My third team I felt confused at times because I was not given proper instructions.
Majority of the time I was busy all day.
My third client although the least guidance, I was given the most responsibility.
I believe this will help with my accounting classes in the fall.
The Company
It was pleasant.
The internship was very well organized. The recruiters had multiple events planned for the interns to all get together after work.
We had 3 days of training before we began working.
