    The Role

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

    • I thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Accenture

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I certainly felt that I was part of the team and by no means did i feel that i was unappreciated. I got good feedback whenever I did something that my line manager was impressed with

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

    • I was part of two projects during my time here and both managers gave me so much support and guidance - not just in my work within Accenture but also general life in my future career and studies

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

    • It varied - some days I would be very busy and be at the office until 7 or 8pm however there were days where i found i had nothing much on my place and would often ask around whether there were any jobs for me to do

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was surprised by the amount of responsibility i was given at Accenture, what was even more assuring was that they trust you with the responsibility and encourage you as an individual to develop

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

    • Certainly there will be skills such as excel, powerpoint, and communication skills which I will carry forward - however some of the technical stuff I learned on the job which were project specific won't be so useful outside Accenture

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Relaxing atmosphere. My first project I was in Angel office and there was a general good, youthful vibe. I really liked FCS too

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

    • Very well organised, we had a week induction and then thrown into our projects. Only criticism however is that as I was placed on a project with a bank I had to go through a PES Clearance which meant I was at home doing nothing for a week...but not really complaining :p

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
