The people I worked alongside were extremely helpful and encouraging. They answered all my questions regarding the specific tasks and in general about their own careers. I would love to work with that team again.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have been more proficient in my excel knowledge as I ended up using that resource a lot in my work. I think I could've been a lot more efficient had I had better training with it before hand.
Advice
I would say don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for feedback. During any internship or job you might feel as though you should enter knowing most of the stuff but the reality is that you will learn most of the information on the job. It is extremely for both the intern and the employer to encourage feedback for a more effective experience.

Asset Management Tax Intern
June - August 2018 • Short Hills, NJ
What I liked
At KPMG Short Hills office, the employees were so kind and helpful. The certain people who were willing to sit you down and explain every part of the job were my most memorable experiences. The job itself was pretty easy as it was the off season, but there were still a handful of interesting projects along the way.
What I wish was different
Advice
Definitely a worthwhile experience. If you have an interest in working for a big company after graduation, KPMG is a great place to learn a lot!

I enjoyed the firm as well as the tasks I performed over the summer. In addition, I met a number of high performing students from up and down the East Coast.

Tax Intern
June - August 2019 • San Francisco, CA
What I liked
I really enjoyed living and working in San Francisco. KPMG is a great company and did everything they could to make sure I was growing my knowledge and having a positive experience.
What I wish was different
San Francisco is beautiful, but incredibly expensive. I wish that KPMG's compensation in San Francisco was adjusted accordingly, but instead I made a similar amount of money to interns working in Des Moines, IA.
Advice
Overall I am incredibly happy with my experience with KPMG this past summer. One piece of advice for interns is to be incredibly attentive to your work. The Big Four accounting firms bring in a ton of interns each summer. Meeting new friends is a great part of the internship, but it's all too easy to get too comfortable and end up not getting a return offer.
