PwC Kicks Interns Out of Disney World, Sends Them to Olive Garden Instead
KEY POINTS
- â˘PwC canceled its multi-day end-of-internship trip to Disney World which was held for interns receiving full-time offers.
- â˘Instead, the 2026 summer interns' celebration was downgraded to a team dinner at an Italian restaurant, according to an intern.
- â˘PwC stated it continues investing in early-talent programs while reducing entry-level hires and consolidating new consultant start locations.
PwC just canceled their iconic 'Impact' trip to Disney World, ending a near 15-year run of trophy interns touring the Magic Kingdom like salaried Cinderella wannabes. Instead of rubbing shoulders with Mickey, their 2026 intern class gets a team dinner at an Italian restaurantâprobably with half the magic and twice the parmesan. Despite this, PwC swears itâs âsignificantly investingâ in early-talent programs, which apparently means swapping multi-day Orlando wildness for a few office happy hours and learning buddies chatting over spreadsheets. Meanwhile, this Big Four giant cut 5,600 staff in 2025, reduced entry-level hires by a third thanks to AI's rise, and capped entry points from 72 down to 13 locations. So congrats interns, your rite of passage is now less âfantasy kingdomâ and more âcareer conference call.â
