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

    • Worked as an Ecosystem Solution Architect for a year. I thoroughly enjoyed this. [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]

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I had to spend the first half of the year 2019 being longed off by Accenture Internal resources when trying to get them to resolve a serious blocker with QA ltd, which meant my grades were not released/processed properly by QA, and QA had misinformed Accenture.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I enjoyed my program when Accenture/the people running the apprenticeship actually took apprentices concerns with the consideration deserved. Pre 2019/mid2018. So far, since 2019, I have not enjoyed the programme at all, because there has been NO support.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • They screwed up my Level 5 certificate submission, lied about it to me, and to Accenture, and only corrected it when I decided to investigate [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] Took a year to resolve and I still haven't started/got confirmation for my Level 6.

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

    • It really doesn't. [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] I've had over a year without any progress in my studies, so it doesn't help at all.

  • 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, plenty. Accenture have a mountain range of internal and external resources dedicated to learning and self-improvement. [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]

  • 9a. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • Prior to this I would have, and I probably would for a post-graduate or experienced-hire looking to join, but so far as the apprenticeship is concerned, it's more trouble than it's worth. Perhaps there have been improvements, as we were the first year, [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]

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

    • Do your degree/apprenticeship elsewhere, then join as a post-grad.
