Internships at Segal

Want to explore consulting? Learn from our seasoned professionals and discover if our meaningful work and collaborative culture are a good fit for your talents.

You’ll have opportunities to learn and gain hands-on work experience

Our internships provide students with meaningful business experience to enhance their academic education and prepare for post-graduate careers. You’ll be able to contribute meaningfully to our work.

Because we value their contributions, we always pay our interns.

In addition to their work with a business team, interns collaborate with one another on practical group projects related to challenges our clients are facing. The project teams present their projects to Segal leaders.

Interns also participate in a speaker series to learn about various aspects of our business.

“The speaker series gave us the opportunity to hear from leaders across various cultural and professional backgrounds. Seeing how committed they are to effecting genuine change with each interaction — both with clients and us as interns — made it clear to me that Segal's culture truly welcomes and celebrates diverse perspectives as well as professional excellence.”

Where you might work as an intern

We encourage every part of our business to consider working with interns.

Consequently, we’ve had interns across a broad spectrum of our organization, including:

Participation in our internship program is growing

We introduced a formal internship program in 2018.

Since then, more than 240 students have participated.

One internship may lead to another!

Some of our interns enjoy their experience enough to choose to participate in more than one internship with us.

Here’s how some of our summer 2025 interns explain why they chose to extend their internship or return to Segal:

  • “I chose to return to Segal because my practice group genuinely values my input and contribution. Everyone at Segal has been open to new ideas regardless of who they are coming from, and I’m very lucky and excited to be back!” — Cole V.
  • “I think it all boils down to how much I have learned during my time at Segal. Each project that I’ve worked on has helped me piece together the bigger picture of the healthcare system. I know that there's still so much in store, which is why I was excited to return this summer.” — Sophie W.
  • “I chose to stay with Segal because of the amazing team. Everyone is supportive, collaborative and genuinely invested in helping each other. I love the environment here. It’s one that encourages learning and values every contribution.” — Garvin L.

An internship may lead to an offer of full-time employment

Interns are not just summer help; they are an investment in Segal’s future. Interns who perform well are considered for full-time hires when they are ready to graduate. The number of full-time hires from our Internship Program continues to increase.

In 2024, we extended full-time offers to select rising seniors or graduate student interns. 79 percent said “yes!”

Many former interns are now successful Segal consultants. Some former interns have become officers of the company.

We’re proud of our long history of valuing students’ contributions to our business

Although our formal internship program is eight years old, our experience working with interns spans decades. Robert D. Krinsky, a Chair Emeritus of our Board of Directors, who served as President from 1982 to 1993, started as an intern more than 70 years ago.
