    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • The placement really depends on the projects you end up in. Accenture always tends to have interesting projects going on. Team chemistry and working environment are also contributing factors.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • 4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • At Accenture, people are very friendly and helpful. You just need to speak up and ask.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • 4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Make sure that you ask for more when you feel like you can handle it. But before you do, let your work do the talking. Prove that you can handle responsibility.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The most important skills that I have developed would be personal skills. These are to me way more important than professional skills as every project/company requires different skills. Despite this, have picked up a lot of professional skills that can be applied elsewhere

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The atmosphere at Accenture is very comfortable and relaxed. People are extremely friendly and smiling. I think this really goes back to the networking attitude that people have. However, as this is a consulting firm, the atmosphere at a client office could vary so you must be able to adapt to that.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I expected it to be a little bit more organised particularly because during my first weeks I was not assigned a project. Instead I had to find one on my own. I think this is partly because the business demand during the period I joined was a bit low.

    2/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Accenture knows that consulting is a people's business and they invest a lot. I remember attending 3-4 sessions given by Bianca Miller from The apprentice about personal development and image.

    Sports and Social Club

    3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Accenture is always actively looking for talent. The recruitment process is quite lengthy but worth it. It is very important to be yourself. The company cares a lot about personality and being client ready.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The recruitment team hosted placement students' drinks and socials at least every month. Also, the placement students frequently have lunch at Accenture's CafĂ© or share a desk when working from the head office. Networking is key and placement students understood that well so acted accordingly.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Really expensive, however a lot of company events.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • its LONDON Baby !!!!

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Accenture has charity days, sport days and clubs and societies. IT really depends on your choice. However there will always be something going on.
