I have learnt basic programming in Java and have developed more conifdence in the work place which has also reflected outside of the work place. I have learnt about salesforce, performance engineering, and general work life practices in the city.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I find the programme okay. The first year of University was similar to my A levels in computing. My current role I will not do again as I don`t believe it is for me, however inside Accenture you can control your career and acquire a diverse range of knowledge.

7/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme for University is well structured. Inside the work place there is structure but because everyone is so busy it is sometimes common to get lost in the company at the start unless you are procactive.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

At the moment I have not used any of the academics I have learnt at University, however it helps you think in the workplace when a problem needs to be solved and it gives me the options to go into roles which use this knowledge.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are loads of activites to get involved in within my workplace.

9a. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I would recommend this company as it allows you to build a wide variety of knowledge up and will allow you to find what you want to do in the IT sector. Only thing I would say is the work hours can be long sometimes.

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

Be prepared to be proactive. You will have to work overtime sometimes and you will have to go to after work events and socialise if you want to get higher up in this company. If you let yourself be known and have a voice you will do well.
