    The Role

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

    • It was very well organised - from training to the actual work. I was given actual responsibility where I was given credit for everything done well but was also responsible for everything that didn't go well. It was a steep learning curve but I enjoyed every bit of it, especially the high-level exposure to the client.

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

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

    • Senior Management was very approachable and given that they were not in meetings; they were always willing to help/teach/discuss.

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

    • Although it depends from project to project and no two days were the same. I worked an average of 11-14 hours a day. I was quite busy with multiple tasks and tight deadlines.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility and as I continued to perform well; I was given more responsibility including critical tasks.

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

    • The skills that I learnt/developed will be extremely helpful, maybe not so much with my studies but most definitely in the business world.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • We usually worked on the client site (so my experiences might not apply to all projects). The atmosphere was very nice - Accenture and client people worked together and it was a comfortable and professional environment.

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

    • I worked in three cities including London and Manchester, so it really depends. London was obviously not the cheapest!

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • London and Manchester - both have good places to go out. We went to office parties to really nice places - but it was all paid for by Accenture!

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes there were but I was too busy with my work and used weekends to catch up on sleep and TV.
