About You
The Tech Visionaries experience gives you a good glimpse into Accenture and what they do! You get to learn more about the journeys of different people within Accenture, the technologies and projects they work on and also meet a range of people from different backgrounds and areas.
Accenture does give you a sense of belonging and value as we had a range of people from different backgrounds and experience (e.g. technical or non-technical) and everyone can contribute. There is a place for everyone, where you skills and background can be applied.
There was support both from the HR team and mentors we had on different days. They provided support and answered any queries. There were also analyst available to provide their own experiences.
You get to learn about agile development, project management, technical architecture, delivery and team work!
The Company
It was quite structured with an opening day, and subsequent days dedicated to completing a team challenge/task with a team presentation on the last day!
The atmosphere was generally good. Collaborative and engaging. Accenture provide a good environment to work so it comes down to the dynamics and communication of those visiting for the visionaries experience.
The team challenge provided an elementary insight into agile development, project management and technical architecture. There was also a session on presenting.
I think it gave a glimpse into the potential opportunities you may have at the firm.
As it was across a few days, it did provide a good insight. This also became clearer with the range of speakers and social engagements with different people from Accenture.
Very valuable and it provided a good understanding of what Accenture do and how it aligns to your own goals/path.
Everything Else
Reimbursed for travel expenses.
Yes. They have a good social night where everyone can relax, eat and meet some of the analysts. They also had analysts and different employees you could engage with on each day.
Very good. Free food and drinks is always a bonus. You were able to speak to a range of people at different levels and areas.
Yes, there was some insight into the different clubs and societies available.
Yes! I think the Tech Visionaries Experience is run quite well and you really get to have an insight into Accenture with all the activities, events and engagements they provide.
