  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

  • 9. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • The quality of the scheme is without a doubt the best in the UK right now in terms of IT orientated. The support and career guidance is un-matched and the company is very welcoming despite it being a global leader.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Accenture?
  • Get basic understanding of Linux and using the UNIX command line. And get a basic understanding of the fundamentals of Java.
