    The Role

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

    • Accenture Digital is nothing like the old school view of Accenture would have you believe

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

    • highly. Responsibility was built up rapidly but gradually. Colleagues are always happy to invest time to support / explain things to you. Hard work is appeciated

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

    • Good level of support, not only from direct managers but also other colleagues that I did not directly work with

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

    • Peaks and troughs... Sometimes I was doing 14-16 hour days for 2 week stints, then I would have a slow week where I could leave early and take back some time for myself. It's important to learn to take it easy when you can, because inevitably the company will get it's pound of flesh from you in the end

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

    • Gradually increased from start to finish. I think it was a reasonable / appropriate amount of 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?

    • My degree includes many subjects that require us to work with industry partners, so consulting experience is highly useful

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Friendly

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

    • Very well organised. By now this placement scheme is a well-oiled machine

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

    • Lot of opportunity to join training's, but it is largely based upon your workload. Training is valued by senior leadership and therefore taking time out of day-to-day jobs for training is not frowned upon (so long as you are on top of your work, in general)

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Subsidised Canteen

    Subsidised/Company Gym

    International Travel

    Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday

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

    • Good, especially within Digital where Accenture are looking to expand rapidly

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • yeah, but we all go to the same uni so that's not indicative of Accenture necessarily

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

    • London - Expensive

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

    • London - Expensive but always lively

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Not really stressed on the placement scheme. Lots of analyst opportunities though

    3/5
