The Role
varied and got stuck in to a project
line manager really appreciated my work and wanted me to stay longer
line manager was really helpful and supportive
there were some days that were less busy as you waited for deliverables, but it got very busy towards the end.
I was facilitating calls with senior managers and managers quite regularly.
The inducation week was really useful and a lot better than some other training I'd attended elsewhere.
The Company
They tried to keep it as fun as they could especially with the olympics on.
HR organised everything really well, although we didn't know where we would be based until quite late.
Training and events showed they cared!
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Great prospects.
The Culture
Yes. All the interns were very charismatic.
London is expensive. At the client it is always cheaper than the city.
The client site was in a village/small town so not great.
Yes. I got involved with Accenture sport.
