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

The pay could be improved I think to be more aligned with workload. Due to this static structure, there isn't any bonuses. However, this is compensated with social events supplied by the company. It does restrict your possibilities

There are plenty of opportunities outside of work! And if there isn't a club or group you want to join, there is the freedom to start your own!

Its a fantastic place to work. The opportunity is there, you just have to be willing to take it and put in the time.

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

The interviews are hard, but just concentrate on being the best version of yourself. Accenture employ a person as whole - social skills and technical - they don't want a lone wolf type, even if you are a master at your trade.
