The Role
Really enjoyed all aspects on the job.
Worked closely as part of a team based on a client site. I felt the work I did was meaningful and valued.
I had a buddy throughout my time at Accenture.
I always had a good workload that could be easily prioritised.
The work I was doing was meaningful and often was presented to senior management and the client.
Helped to give me an insight into industry that I can relate theory to.
The Company
It was really good, I worked with a great group of people who were a mix of all ages. Overall, a good balance of professionalism and fun.
Very well organised with a dedicated schemes team who were always available to answer questions or concerns. Plenty of social events organised too.
Access to a vast knowledge exchange and lots of free computer based training modules available 24/7
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Above 25 days holiday
Have been offered a place of the graduate scheme starting 2013.
The Culture
Yes - there were plenty of nights out organised both by the schemes team and amongst ourselves.
The internship is based in London so prices for drinks etc are high, however the salary reflects this and so socialising is affordable.
The internship is based in London so the nightlife is great. Something for everyone!!!
Within the company there are lots of societies to join but also being in London there is always something to do outside of work.
