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

I currently on the bench studying RPA. My previous role was as a Core Infrastructure Analyst.

Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
University wise, the lecturer are excellent, we carry out our activities in a smooth way and being present and pay attention to lessons really helps. The only bad note, in my opinion, is the fact that is 4 years long, against the 2 year of the same program in England.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
We have all the support that we need and want. We can contact out people lead if in need, Ketki or Karen if we have any questions, the HR that can help us with more delicate matters. Overall we are extremely supported.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
When in need we can arrange session with our lecturer, following support sessions, email them, and more.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I've learnt a lot in my first 2 semester at University. I've used program that are quite relevant in the IT world, and now I've got knowledge of them.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Just in the last month I've been involved in the opening of the new office in Glasgow, taught RPA to new people, entered the event team, participated to an event where you meet random colleagues and have a chat, and the green Code Hackaton.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?
Yes
Why?
When I was joining I was quite afraid of being inside an huge corporate (like you see in movies) but once inside I notice that this company is truly made of people that treat each other like people and not just subordinates.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Accenture?
Relax, remember that are people making this company, and is with people that are you going to interact, people that you will work and bond with.
