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.)

Yes there are activities on a day to day basis such as yoga, football matches, chess clubs, gym classes and lots more to get involved in. There is also a designated team to go to if you are looking to host one of these activites.

9/10

9a. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

At Accenture there is so much opportunity for an employee and it gives you the chance to express yourself in whatever interests you. There is a great sense of community within the workplace which is always good as it doesn't really feel like a job when going to work.

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

I would advise just to be yourself. I feel like valuing the individual is more important to accenture than the skills that go with the person.
