The Role
Really helpful team that guided me through each stage of the process
I was very fortunate to integrate very well into the team and was able to form a relationship with every member of the team
The team was incredibly helpful in providing insight and placed emphasis on learning outside the project
I was very busy and often had to balance my schedule or add in more hours to complete the work
I was given a lot of responsibility and even taking the lead on one section of the project
I have learnt technical and organizational skills but also how to integrate in a work place
The Company
Quite lively but due to being on client site- we needed to act presentable at all times
There was always tasks for me to complete
The company was concerned with my learning outside of the project too with time being invested in my outside of the project for independent learning

I would like to work with Accenture in the future
The Culture
We all got on really well outside of the company too!
Because I was outside of London - the company paid for these
There was not much night life in the area but we would often go out as a team
Yes- Accenture offers groups and teams such as netball etc. But being out of London makes it harder to get involved
