    The Role

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

    • Enjoyed my time at Accenture greatly, especially the people I was able to work with. Learnt and experienced many new things.

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

    • Most colleagues treated you as their equal. Was a small number who thought that as an intern you had to do all the mundane pieces of work.

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

    • HR kept us up to date via email and events. Support can depend on your supervisor and your relationship with them

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

    • First project was really good in terms of business. Was able to leave at reasonable hours. Second project was very hectic with long hours required of me and my team. Again, will depend on your project. Was never bored though

    2/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Was given a lot of responsibility by Manager and the rest of the team.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Time Management was very key. Just building employability skills and the things that you will be doing at University but in a more serious manner and environment

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Good environment to work. Friendly people with good energy.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Was very organised at the beginning. However, things like following up of internship were not organised as well.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • You get one week of training to learn the basics. However the majority of training is done on the job with the the help of your colleagues.

    4/5

    Company Parties/Events

    Above 25 days holiday
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • Roles usually involve a lot of travel which can be tiring after a couple of months. Will hopefully return though as it is a very good working environment

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Placement students events were held very often. Also regular colleague events including dinner and other social activities. Was able to experience things like Laserquest and Go-karting

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Accenture support all out of town costs so not much cost there and you can use money saved for things you like. Much more expensive on a Friday in London where travel, food and drinks are more expensive.

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

    • Worked in Manchester and Northampton. In Manchester the nightlife was amazing and there were always things to do in the evening. Northampton was the opposite with very little to do apart from the odd dinners.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Plenty of opportunities through groups and companies. Was unable to take full advantage due to other commitments.
