An Introduction to Corporations
Finance Intern (Former Employee), Abu Dhabi, UAE – May 4, 2013
Pros: broad opportunities, shared knowledge & resources.
Cons: private nature of operations in the me.
E&Y was a strong choice for my first internship in the corporate field. Here, I learned the basics of consultancy and audit, and although I did not deliver a cohesive project at the end, I received one-on-one mentoring and training throughout. Thus, I was involved in several company reviews and positioned to learn the different functions that go into – more... providing advisory services to companies.
Although markets in the Gulf region are largely private, and therefore all information highly confidential, I gained a solid understanding of the work culture and ethic that govern one of the richest states in the region.
My internship at E&Y served to introduce me to the world of corporations and laid the foundations for my future interests and goals - transaction advisory services, valuation and business modeling. – less

Gaining too much experience with sort of fun
Audit manager (Current Employee), Cleveland, Ohio – April 17, 2013
Pros: gaining too much experience & knowledge, flexible hours, good healthcare system.
My work start at 8:30 up to i finish my tasks. My work always were set based on budget and every night i put a list for the next day which should be based on my overall budget. Each client and industry i audit it is different which enhance my experience also my co-workers is changing for each job but all of them are nice and very practical. My hardest – more... part of job is when client is facing a new accounting problem which he has to ask us so i have to search everywhere to solve it and my employer has all the information and applications that help me in solving most of the problems. The most enjoyable part when we finish the busy season and have our end of season party then i start to update my self through technical training that offered by my employer. – less
