3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Um, to be honest, I had a few problems with the programmes which I stipulated but if I hadn't stipulated these problems out I will still be suffering at this present moment. I still think that this programme still needs some improvement and I will be having ongoing discusssions with the leaders to see what solutions we can come up with.

4. How valued do you feel by Accenture?

I dont really feel valued at all. Me and a few other colleagues can back me up on this. We feel as if we are the scum of the scum as if our opinions doesnt matter.

1/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Its not really well structured because our training provider QA and Accenture don't reallt communicate with each other so they ask us to do certain takss but put us in a bad situation with our projects. For example I explained to my project that without my CW I wont be here and my work wouldnt be any point. But yet its hard for my project to understand the seriousness behind it. They just want me for the short term benefits.

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

Not really much support, but my performance is slacking. But I get more "hate emails" instead of taking time and escalating it to my manager saying that I need to finish my coursework. Even though I've done this countless times, as I said, they dont really understand the seriousness behind this.

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

Not much to be honest.

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

Well due to certain circumstances with HR messing up with my salary. I now have to pay full rent and right now my salary package only goes to rent and travel.

2/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

Not much, because when you're travelling East to SW everyday you dont really have much time for yourself. It's like I spend most of my time on the train. Then on Saturday and Sunday's I catch up on courseowrk because there are no opportunities for me to do it during the week...unfortunately..so no.

9. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?

9b. Why?

I dont feel like this is the best place. As I said there are certain improvements that needs to adhered for me to be spreading the word of the Apprenticeship

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

I will tell them the full story and my opinions and they I will allow them to make their decision if the still want to apply for Accenture or not.
