Rating

8.3/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Client role was as a Central PMO for a global regulatory change project at a Tier 1 Global Investment Bank. Some of the optional roles I've undertaken included being my project's resource champion, mental healthy ally and capital markets training participant.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Lacked variety of work and didn't travel outside of London often at all (one of the reasons I joined Accenture) - however I've met some wonderful people during my internship and have been able to take part in a wide range of activities.

7/10

4. How valued do you feel by Accenture?

I feel far more valued by Accenture than I do by clients!

Training providers have given me the opportunity to get involved in many programmes within Capital Markets.

8/10

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I received plenty of support when I was required to take sick leave, and am eternally grateful for the way it was handled! Very quick, professional and I felt like I was really valued by the company.

9/10

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

Competitive salary, although I often found I would work beyond the half hour 'overtime' daily cap.

8/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

Accenture provide a gym subsidy for keeping fit outside of the office.

8/10

9. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I've had experiences as a gap year intern which many of my peers won't have until they graduate. Horizons has helped me to choose and drive my own career.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Accenture?

Candidates are the best versions of themselves when they are completely, and 100% relaxed. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] did a fantastic job of creating an environment where people weren't afraid to speak up or ask questions. The MindGym session is an excellent activity which Accenture should provide to those that reach the Assesment Centre.
