• Industries: We serve a variety of clients across industries, including consumer & industrial, financial sponsors & financial services, life sciences & healthcare, public sector, real estate, renewable energy, technology & media, and private client services (varies by office).
• Office: Enjoy a modern office environment designed for your success — featuring amenities and collaborative spaces where you can connect, learn, and grow alongside fellow interns and professionals.
• Performance Coach: Will meet with you to establish goals, provide feedback and support to guide you along your career path of choice; many of our current managers and partners were once CR interns themselves.
• CR Friend: A designated peer who will be your go‑to person as you get started, answer your questions, and help you feel at home from day one.
