A Student's Perspective: PriceWaterCoopers


PriceWaterhouseCoopers is one of the world's largest accounting and consulting firm with 140,000 individuals working in 150 countries. Originally incorporated in 1898 as Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery, the firm formally became PriceWaterhouseCoopers in 1998 after a merger between accounting firms Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand. While PwC is best known for their accounting practice, the Firm also provides an extensive array of services including a growing technology advisory practice and systems & process assurance for those with both a technology and finance background.

Over the years, Marquette and PwC have formed a unique relationship with one another thus affording MU students a "foot in the door" with a progressive firm. While there is an office located right in our backyard, potential interns or new hires have 149 other offices from which to choose.

The mission of PriceWaterhouseCoopers goes beyond the services the firm provides; PwC consistently encourages its employees to participate in firm-wide volunteer events throughout the year. This summer, the interns were provided the opportunity to rehabilitate schools in Belize. In addition to its "help inspire change" mentality, the Firm is also renowned for its minority, women, and LGBT circles.

For those interested in interning with PwC, consider visiting www.pwc.tv. If this does not convince you, check out Business Week magazine's 2007 rating of the Firm's internship program: number one in the country. Did I mention that upon receiving a full-time offer, the Firm rewards its interns with a week paid vacation to the Walt Disney World parks and resorts?

If you would like more information, feel free to reach out to PwC's local campus recruiter, Angela Helbing, at angela.m.helbing@us.pwc.com.

Please be sure to visit PriceWaterhouseCoopers at BizNet on September 23rd; for those interested in working on the east coast, recruiters from the Washington D.C. office will be present to meet with interested candidates.
