Intern Reviews
- “The overall culture of the firm is one of collaboration. Some days are used for skills training (either personal or career-related) that the company wants reflected in its workplace. If I ever need anything, I can ask my buddy who was assigned to me when I first started; they are very helpful. I frequently have lunch with my coworkers and some of the fellow interns. Often, there are after-work events that the company plans that I’m invited to, allowing me to meet even more coworkers that I wouldn't be able to bump into on a day-to-day basis. I work 16 to 25 hours per week, and if I need a day off or to switch my schedule, it’s very easy to do so.”
- “The firm culture was great! Everyone is super friendly and says ‘hi’ to you in the mornings. Almost everyone keeps their doors open when possible, and you can reach out to anyone for help. Overall, the working atmosphere is a very positive one. I was required to work 28 hours a week, 9 to 4 Monday through Thursday. It gave me the perfect life balance because I was still working and learning a lot, but I also had plenty of time to enjoy my summer! This firm really focuses on a work-life balance, especially when separating work from personal life. Once you’re done work for the day, you can go home and not worry about it, which allows for a stress-free life at home.”
- “The culture at Marcum is amazing. Two of Marcum's core values are teamwork and passion. At Marcum, teamwork is always encouraged, and it’s always a positive experience no matter who you work with. Everyone at Marcum is passionate about their work, and that is easy to notice every day. The overall environment at Marcum is engaging, collaborative, and fun. I started in busy season, and I worked 40 hours on average. Since I was in school, I was told I could work however many hours I wanted to, based on the amount of school work I had. The work-life balance here is perfect. You’re not given too much work to the point where you don't have a life outside of work. During busy season, everyone knows that the hours increase substantially, but that’s expected and known before coming into this profession.”
- “Every employee is super kind and supportive. You work together, not against each other. I only worked four days a week for a minimum of eight hours each day (Fridays off). We had multiple intern events, such as going to a Nationals game and touring the Capitol Building.”
Getting Hired Here
- “I have never had a serious job interview before this one, so I was really nervous, especially since I was interviewing for a job in the ‘real world.’ However, my interviewers made me feel very comfortable, which eased my anxiety. The interview flowed very naturally, and I appreciated being able to learn from my interviewers throughout the process. I had two interviews, one with two employees from the firm and the second one with the director of the apartment I planned on interning in.”
- “The hiring process began with me signing up for a networking event called the summer leadership program. From there, an HR representative and I began to email back and forth and eventually scheduled a call. After receiving an invitation, I went to the SLP and interacted with all of the staff and partners for the company. A few weeks after I got a call from the same HR rep, I had been emailing and was offered an internship.”
- “The hiring process went very well. My first interaction with the college recruiter was very nice, and she made me feel excited to go on with the interview process. My interaction with the interviewer also was very nice. I was able to ask questions about the firm and assurance/auditing career. Overall, I felt that it was a great experience.”
- “I talked to multiple staff during my interview and can say that I was really intrigued by this opportunity. One went to the same college I went to and gave me some books about the business that he had written himself. He passed me on to a staff who also went to my college, and she took me out for coffee and talked about her experience at the firm. I was set on trying to get this internship after that experience. She raved about Marcum, and now I know why.”
