  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • At the beginning it didn't look like the structure was very good, but as we were the first to be in an Accenture apprenticeship it was understandable and after we gave feedback it worked out alot better. this feedback also helped structure how to deal with the new first years as they learnt from their mistakes.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • My salary doesn't reflect on the amount of work i do, but as this is a massive opportunity i am willing to sacrifice a few years of my life to get to the top. i had taken this job with a salary less than i was getting priot to joining Accenture, it was the name of the company which swayed me.
