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

    • Very much valued, got given a lot of responsibility by senior members.

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

    • Accenture has a 'buddy' system, where you are assigned a recently joined analyst on the same project as you - they know what you are going through and are very happy to help with any questions/issues. Line managers, although occasionally busy, are always willing to help/explain themsleves further

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

    • Ranged from 'crazily busy' to 'enough work to keep you occupied till home at 5'. There is always more work available though if you ask for it.

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

    • Ran my team at one point, and the more pieces of work you take on and complete successfully the more responsibility you will be given

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

    • Haven't been to university yet so not qualified to say...
