Cost Finance Intern
Department: Merchandising finance/COGS
My experience
Overview
First I created a tool in Excel that allows my team to provide supplemental analytics to help with cost increase requests. Then I created a HD producer price index to track HD’s performance against that of the broader market in terms of taking cost increases.
Such a great company to work for. I interned the summers after both sophomore and junior year and I intend to go full time after senior year.
Pros
The work was important and impactful. My PPI project even made it up to Ted Decker, COO of HD. The people who work at HD are awesome and super willing to help you out and give you advice.
Cons
Only complain I have is that I wish it could have been in person.

Interview questions
The behavioral interview was a very typical behavioral interview. The case interview was focused on relatively broad knowledge of finance. Not super difficult
Advice on how to prepare
Networking. 10,000 people apply for this internship and about 200 people actually intern for the company. Get in contact with someone—I recommend LinkedIn
