Do any companies drug test their interns?

Specifically any of the Big 4...

If you have any information on that you could share, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Depends on the company, depends on the industry. My company is a Fortune 500 that sells cars and we test everyone. Everyone.

I had to get a drug test for my internship, though I'm not interning at a Big 4 they probably do too.

So who knows for sure? I'm assuming they do, but looking nfor someone that for instance has interned at PWC or EY or something and got drug tested (or didn't).

I interned at Deloitte, I didn't get tested. I don't believe any others in the Boston area did.

Also sefago you are being called a kid because you are 18 and maybe other reasons too.

Thanks.

I assume though if you do audit that you might have to drug test for the companies you audit though?

So, if it's in the finance sector, I'd guess you'd be drug tested.

What about if you are in the other audit sector (basically everything but finance). I guess better safe than sorry (aka, don't do anything that'll show up on drug tests... like smoke weed, lol).

Anyway, thanks for replies. Feel free to post anything else based on experience, more replies are still welcome.
