Business Analyst Review

Working as a business analyst alongside other employees who range from analyst to senior manager. Daily tasks include managing deliverables, working on presentations, creating trackers and spreadsheets. Responsibilities differ from role to role but you are always responsible for something.

It's not necessarily about gaining a vast amount of new skills but there is a lot about simple things like Word, Powerpoint and Excel that I was not necessarily aware of previously. There is also a lot of infomation on KX and you learn a lot 'on the job'.

The company culture is helpful at every point, you never feel like you are swimming alone. The programme as a whole is very enjoyable, it is a good opportunity to learn how to work in teams, learn new information and mostly have fun doing this.

VERY - an intern is a project's favourite kind of person

Everything is structured and organised - you know who you need to contact when you need something done.

There is no direct 'training provider' outside the first week but there is plenty of learning support if you are willing to look and ask.

There is always constant support from your line manager and other's on your project.

Living costs in London are expensive but the salary does cover this and also costs are well covered when on an out of town project

Accenture have many volunteering days and other opportunities such as International Women's Day for you to be involved in

Yes

Definitely the best way to spend a gap year, it is an amazing way to learn and also improve yourself.

Be honest when talking about something that you don't understand, no one expects you to be Einstein. Be happy to ask for help!
