Intern Reviews
- “The firm went out of [its] way to welcome every intern, no matter their department. I was expecting people to ignore/look down on the interns, but it was the exact opposite. The majority of people in the office came to me and introduced themselves and their roles, not vice versa. Everyone was super accommodating in terms of personal life and work/life balance needs and the firm hosted a ton of fun events (including out-of-state orientation training) for the interns to get to know each other and bond with other members at the firm.”
- “Everyone here is so nice and welcoming. I really do enjoy getting to socialize with others and work with my team. They are very patient with me, and I appreciate that a lot.”
- “Grant Thornton definitely made the internship fun with plenty of intern socials and office lunches. I was excited to go to work every day. There was not a ton of work to do since it was not busy season, so I never felt overwhelmed with work, and they definitely emphasized no interns working overtime.”
- “They were good about not pressuring me to work more than my required days' worth of hours. The staff seemed genuinely interested in building a connection with me. I enjoyed eating lunch with my various teams throughout the course of the internship.”
Getting Hired Here
- “The hiring process was thorough. An introduction interview followed by two in-person interviews with a partner and manager. I heard back within a week after interviewing. The interviews were not technical, which makes sense for the intern role. GT's applicant standards were in-line with what I would expect from a T-10 firm. You must be smart and capable for the job.”
- “The interview process very laid back and felt conversational. I did not feel like I was being put under a microscope at any point, interviewers were very friendly.”
- “During the hiring process, the recruiters were very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. They made the entire process smooth. They communicated with me and other interns very well, they set up events prior to the interviews that eased our nerves. We were able to meet with our interviewers the night before to make us feel less nervous the day of. When the interviews started, the partners were extremely easygoing and it felt so relaxed. They made sure that we were doing okay and reassured us that it’s just a conversation, no need to feel/be nervous. Overall, it was a very nice experience.”
- “The hiring process was great. Our university recruiter has made it her goal to check in with us and make sure we have GT on our minds. My interview process was smooth, and I ended up hearing back from them a couple of days later!”
