Vault's Summer Internship Kick-Off Event—What You Missed

The Library

&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;Today, Vault released its annual ranking of the&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/most-prestigious-companies-to-intern-for&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;50 Most Prestigious Internships&lt;/a&gt;. This year, the ranking was based on a survey of more than 11,000 interns and former interns at more than 100 firms. Our survey asked interns to rate the prestige of other employers in order to determine which internships are the most desirable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;During our survey, respondents were presented with a list of top companies and asked to rate each on how prestigious its internship is&#160;on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest (&quot;It&#39;s a dream job&quot;) and 1 being the lowest (&quot;No one wants to work there&quot;). Interns were asked to rate only those companies that they were familiar with. Vault averaged the rating for each employer, then ranked the companies in order from No. 1 down to No. 50.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;In addition, our survey asked interns to rate and review their own internship experiences. From these ratings, we compiled our&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/top-10-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2017 Best Internships Rankings&lt;/a&gt;, as well as our annual internship rankings in various industries, including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/top-10-consulting-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;consulting&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-accounting-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;accounting&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-investment-bank-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;investment banking&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-tech-engineering-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tech &amp;amp; engineering&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-energy-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;energy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-media-telecommunications-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;media &amp;amp; telecom&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-health-care-internships&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;healthcare&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-retail-consumer-products-internships&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;retail &amp;amp; consumer products&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/best-financial-services-internships/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;financial services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;What follows are this year&#39;s big winners: the top 25 firms of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vault.com/internship-rankings/most-prestigious-companies-to-intern-for&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;50 Most Prestigious Internships for 2017&lt;/a&gt;.
