The people made the experience for me. They were immediately welcoming, there were no barriers between the partners and interns, and immense amounts of resources were put into my professional development.
What I wish was different
I wish I wouldn't have missed Crowe cares day, I saw photo's of friends having fun while supporting local causes.
Advice
Be authentic, it can be nerve-racking taking on a role at a new company, but Crowe is a place where it's encouraged to be yourself.

What I liked
The entire staff was extremely supportive as well as patient throughout my training. Even after training, when I moved on to working on actual projects they remained supportive and open to any questions/concerns of mine that arose.
What I wish was different
Advice
With jobs likes this it is always important to be flexible and willing to accommodate multiple requests at once. With that being said, work can really begin to pile up so it is important to keep your lines of communication clear and open to make sure that your work space remains both productive and healthy for you.

Audit Intern
June - August 2019 • New York City, NY
What I liked
I really enjoyed the formal internship program, as it provided me with the ability to connect with other interns, attend training, and receive formal feedback from my superiors.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have interacted with more interns on a regular basis; I was generally the only intern on an audit team whenever I was on an engagement.
Advice
The employees at Crowe really care about the development of the company, and they made me feel incredibly welcome and valuable. I’m really grateful to everyone I was able to work and connect with over my time there, because they were so helpful in answering my questions and providing feedback and advice.

Change Management Assistant
June - August 2018 • Oakbrook Terrace, IL
What I liked
I really enjoyed being able to apply what I had learned in my organizational studies and psychology classes to the real world. I enjoyed working towards solving interpersonal problems and observing my manager in a daily work environment. I really enjoyed the people I worked with and I think I learned a lot.
What I wish was different
The demographic of the company I worked at was slightly older, so it would have been nice to work at a younger internship in the city, but everybody I worked with was very nice and mature.
Advice
It's okay not to understand the jargon or unfamiliar concepts at a company. Don't get bogged down by the details--do you best to pay close attention, understand what you can, and be confident in your own abilities even if you're a little unsure.

Tax Intern
June - August 2018 • Sherman Oaks, CA
What I liked
I had the opportunity to develop professionally and socially in a progressive and supportive environment. From creating work papers to conducting full returns from start to finish, my firm assisted me in every way possible so that I can learn and grow with them.
What I wish was different
If I were assigned to roles with bigger responsibilities, so I can understand how it feels to work in the life of a full-time associate.
Advice
To make the best of your experience by getting to know the in's and out's of the business, and ASK ASK ASK questions.

Financial Institution Audit Intern
June - August 2017 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
Crowe Horwath treated me as a staff employee which allowed me to complete tasks that I will be completing when I begin working in Fall 2018. In addition I mentioned that I would like to travel and they sent me to Chicago for 1 week and Las Vegas for 2 weeks.
What I wish was different
The only thing I disliked about the internship would be the location. I discovered during my internship that I do not enjoy living in Los Angeles and the traffic is horrible and I was in my car for over 3 hours almost everyday.
Advice
Ask questions when you need help, but make sure you have tried before hand.
Working hard will pay off.
Tell your supervisors what you are interested in and hopefully they can accommodate, for example I was interested in banks and credit unions instead of manufacturing companies.

Financial Audit Intern
May - August 2018 • Columbus, OH
What I liked
I really liked the size of Crowe. My team had about a dozen people on it, so we got to know each other really well. The office is extremely nice with an open floor plan, lots of alternative seating, an outdoor patio, and free address desks. The Columbus office will even pay for your parking, which is definitely a perk. Crowe really cares about its employees, and it is a great place to work.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had another intern on my team and that the interns in the other business units were more social, but the Crowe personnel made up for it.
Advice
Do it! I love Crowe, and I really learned a lot. Also, be yourself and make friends, not coworkers; these could be people you'll be spending a good chunk of your life with.

Risk Technology and Analytics Consultant Intern
May - August 2018 • Chicago Heights, IL
What I liked
The culture and community. Crowe has awesome people and professionals that I would want to be years from now. I also loved the work that I did because it was with a relatively new department, and going back next year, I will get to be part of the growth of this department.
What I wish was different
I wish I was a bit more challenged and while I got to be on two clients, I wish I had more exposure to client work.
Advice
Network with as many interns as you can. These people become really good friends and if you decide to go back, you can see them again!

Audit Intern

What I liked
Crowe pairs you with a peer and a career coach. I worked on many of the same clients as my peer which allowed me an easier transition. Additionally, you will have several meetings with your peer and career coach to assess the progress you have made throughout the summer.
What I wish was different
There was a small misunderstanding about my start and end dates which was resolved with quick communication.
Advice
I would definitely try to socialize with your co-workers outside of the workspace. It will allow you to have a better idea of what to expect if you come to work full-time.

CAST Intern
January 2019 • South Bend, IN
What I liked
So many things to try! I was never bored and constantly learning new, helpful tasks. In my experience, almost everyone there is glad to lend help and experience.
What I wish was different
I wish my group was busy enough to stay within during off season, to be able to specialize a little more within the industry. This wasn't by any means a downside, I got to learn areas I otherwise would've never touched!
Advice
Working for such a reputable accounting firm is an amazing opportunity, but for me it came with a good deal of anxiety and intimidation. My supervisor is so responsive and helpful, it's a benefit to everyone to be up front with your concerns! No one expects perfection, and plenty of people will check your work, so no need to worry over the small things!

What I liked
The opportunity to learn from and work with experienced staff and managers.
What I wish was different
I wish I had lived in the city instead of commuting in on BART every day.

Consulting Intern
June - August 2021 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
I loved working with Crowe this past summer. The experience that I gained gave me a leg up on the competition when I got back to Cincinnati. Life moves very fast in a city like Chicago so the time flew by but all of the people that I met were incredibly nice and helpful. I loved getting to sit in on client meeting on a day to day basis and learn all of the functional skills required to be a consultant in today's world.
What I wish was different
Nothing. The entire experience was incredibly. Even when I was working remotely at my apartment I still had no problem getting in touch with people and staying focused on my work. Plus the city of Chicago is just beautiful.
Advice
One piece of advise I would share about this would be that it is okay to be nervous. I will be honest I had knots in my stomach in the elevator on my way up to the office on my first day but they were settled easily when I met my team. They told me that they felt this way before and it is totally normal. I was told by one of the people in the office that being nervous is a good thing because it means you really care.

January - March 2023 • Denver, CO
What I liked
Crowe is a great company to work for. They really do care about their employees. The Denver office is filled with friendly and talented individuals who invest into your career. As an intern, you do feel like you're a part of the team, and the level of responsibility you experience is surprising when you look back at your first day.
What I wish was different
I wish I took better notes during the trainings.
Advice
Limit the number of classes to 1 or 0 during the internship although they are very understanding of your schedule and will work around it.

Nothing, I think it was great all around.
