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

    • Variable. I found work often comes in chunks so you can be very busy and then sometimes quite quiet. I don't think there's any problem with that though

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

    • Very well organised and lots of contact with your reps. Lots of events organised. I went to a project that regularly had interns so the role was already well defined.

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

    • Excellent on this front. During our induction week we were given a day's training in Excel, talks on presentation, how to interact with people and teamwork. Accenture are very keen to develop you and the process goes on through your internship with objectives being set and reviewed.

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

    • They are transparent about this. There is a good chance of a future position but this obviously depends on each person.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Socials are organised every couple of weeks and are very well attended. the intens are all great fun and really keen to interact. Spending the induction week together helps with this aspect

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

    • I was on an out of town project so most of your costs are covered on expenses.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • People are busy on project and we lived in a hotel out of town. Often people just sit in their rooms and order room service!

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There is football organised which is great. Team outings are sometimes organised. Team do go out for dinner quite regularly so there is defnite interaction
