Business Insight
It was really good insight into the corporate world and what big 4 culture is like. Audit at big 4 is something that's not for everyone and it's helpful to do an internship in the field so you can determine if it's right for you. It was nice as you had lots of opportunities to network with people in different departments and of different levels of experience.
Culture
Everyone was friendly and bubbly - especially all the other interns which helps put you at ease. Everyone is very smart and willing to help you. The vibe I got there though was that people didn't seem too passionate about their job role/department. I got the impression that it was a high-pressure environment that demands long hours/working over time but pays well for it in return.
Your Impressions
There were aspects of the internship that I enjoyed e.g. meeting other interns. They had really great facilities, free stationery, and the offices were glitz and glam. Deloitte is a well-known company with a good reputation so if you say you work there, you get a sense of pride to be associated with them.
Yes
Just be open minded for what's to come if you are successful on the internship. It's almost not about what you do, but how you do it. They're looking for a very specific type of personality to excel there - smart, confident, fun, extraverted people. Try refrain from comparing yourself to other interns (they're not your competition) or having imposter syndrome. An internship is a two-way street.
