    The Role

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

    • Accenture provides you with a perfect mix of challenging but rewarding work, as well as being able to work with some really great people and clients.

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

    • Even at the lowest level, any good contribution is valued very highly by even more senior members of the team.

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

    • Any good question is never a stupid one and is always answered with respect and guidance.

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

    • The work, at times, was very demanding, totalling around 45-50 hours per week. However, that's what you sign up for and it is in the nature of consultancy to get the job done. There are however always rewards for hard work - effort never goes un-noticed.

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

    • Accenture do expect you to be able to cope with a lot of responsibility and often in a short space of time. During my internship there was one occasion where I was mainly responsible for training client employees on how to use an online learning environment that I was introduced to the first time two days previously.

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

    • Everything that you learn / pick-up whilst working for Accenture will benefit any further education that you decide to do, as well as enhancing your personal skills and job-related avilities.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • The office was always welcoming and fun, but wasn't that crazy that you didn't feel like work - the right balance in my opinion.

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

    • Only a few minor things went wrong with my experience, however all of which were related to uncontrollable extraneous factors and are to be expected by anyone.

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

    • The company could not have invested more time, experience, expertise, or money in the Summer Interns.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

    Company Car

    National Travel

    Company Parties/Events

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

    • After my internship I was offered a full-time place for when I graduate.

    5/5

    The Culture

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

    • Amazing nights out as well as mid-week project meals/nights. It was that good it took me almost a month to recover. Absolutely amazing!

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

    • My project was in Warrington, so it only got expensive when you went out in Manchester/Liverpool. However, London is very expensive.

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

    • Warrington's night life isn't amazing, but nearby Manchester was great and in London over the weekends was a blast!

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • In my experience, we all participated in a charity day which was great fun, as well as me being aware of a project football team and all the numerous Accenture societies.
