    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Very high levels of responsibility- the work you do actually matters.

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

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Varies from project to project but generally had a good level of work to do. Sometimes too much and sometimes too little but this can't be helped- its business demand!

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Very high levels of responsibility- you are treated like an analyst not an intern- there is no distinction!

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

    • Learnt so much about being in a corporate business. Also developed hard skills e.g. excel/ microsoft project etc.

    4/5

    • Mostly everything was in place, but I experience a few hiccups.

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

    • Fantastic company but not for everyone. I personally hope to go back.

    4/5

    The Culture

    • Many events were organised which were really fun.

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

    • London! Very expensive but loads to do.

    1/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Again, London! A huge amount of choice about nights out. Unless you are placed in a less glamorous locations (which is highly possible with Accenture)

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

    • Many many societies clubs etc- a lot to do if you choose to get involved!
