    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Althought I felt uncertain at the beginning, by the end I was thriving and really enjoying, and appreciating the impact of, my role.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I was so sad to leave at the end of summer. My team were some of the best people I have ever met-they made be laugh and smile everyday and we had a great time out of the office as well. The other interns were all amazing, some of them have become my very close friends and we all had a great time together comparing stories and appreciating all that London had to offer.

    5/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • There was a strong system in place for feedback so support and guidance were always on hand if you weren't sure of anything.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • Some days were very quiet, especially at the beginning, but the team soon learnt to trust me and gave me as much responsibility as I wanted. There was a lot of scope for taking on extra work if wanted.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was the global lead in my area and responsible for ensuring its success.

    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 internship has most of all given be a huge amount of confidence which I will be taking onto my final year at University. Everyday specific skills will not be applicable as I am studying a humanities subject but my general perspective and awareness of the world of business will help my general outlook and extra-curricular efforts no end. I am confident that my time at Accenture will assist in all my career endeavours in the future.

    5/5

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

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?
  • There were weekly events organised by HR and the interns often organised mid-week events and weekend parties in addition to these. The interns were a very close group and we all made firm friends.

    5/5

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?
  • I worked in Central London and on the client site. The food and various products were very cheap at the client site but Central London obviously had the London pricetags. I live and study in London anyway so this was normal for me.

    3/5

  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?
  • It's London.

    5/5

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
  • There wasn't time to get involved in any clubs etc. because of the nature of the project but there were plenty of socials which I attended with my team.
