Online career resource Vault.com announced its 2020-2021 rankings of the best accounting internships, along with a number of other best internship categories where accounting firms were represented.
Vault polled more than 11,000 current and former interns this past summer from more than 100 internship programs to determine its rankings. Interns were asked to review their internship experiences, as well as how prestigious they considered an internship at a particular company would be. Interns were asked to only rate companies whose reputations they were familiar with before Vault averaged the scores and ranked them accordingly.
