The Role
I learnt a huge amount through this work, and felt I was making a contribution.
I felt that my contribution was appreciated, and that my work was valued.
Being in a virtual team was difficulty to begin with, but at Accenture, it is handled well and the equipment is excellent.
Peaks and troughs in the work, but tended to strike a good enough balance.
I was responsible for my work and reporting to the other memebers of the team, as well as providing recommended reading.
My research skills have greatly improved, and I have the ability to talk about a topic that I once knew very little about, in very great detail.
The Company
Helpful, and extremely sociable, but with excellent work ethic.
Structured and long standing programme.
We were put through a one day excel training course.
Flexi Time
Working from home
Excellent company, with a real focus on performance recognition.
The Culture
Everyone banded together to create a great social atmosphere.
Central London. Need I say more.
Great, but expensive.
Accenture is excellent at allowing the set up and running of clubs and societies.
