Although my internship is not complete until after this class has finished, I think I can speak to my experience thus far. I have really enjoyed PwC as a company and working environment. This summer has been a great learning experience and a welcomed exposure to the business world. I really was not sure about the prospect of being a consultant…[Read more]

I think one of the biggest things I learned is that our field of Management information systems is so vast and ever changing.

I think we are all told it is important so often that it becomes something we just say, but being at one of the big 4 firms, it is almost impossible to achieve anything without a strong network. You have to have people to call on for answers or guidance on…[Read more]

For my first week of my internship I was sent to North Carolina for training and that was a different experience all together. It was my first time travelling for business without really knowing where I was going so I had to ask where about all the travel arrangements, meals, and pretty much anything. All of our hours worked and timesheets are…[Read more]
