CDTS Summer Analyst

June - August 2019 • Irving, TX

What I liked

I loved the full-time people I had the chance to work with, the amount of responsibility given, and the culture of Accenture. It's a culture of work hard play hard, and keeping employees for the long run instead of having a high turnover rate.

What I wish was different

I wish I knew how much video conferencing and Excel was involved in the job, and that the majority of the office only comes in two times a week so it's mainly just a few people and the interns the rest of the time

Advice

Don't hesitate to ask questions early on, especially if you don't understand something on the computer! Also, get to know the people in the office beyond those you work with.

Consulting Summer Analyst

June - August 2019 • Florham Park, NJ

What I liked

I appreciated the opportunity to improve my skill sets in technical, business, and leadership contexts. Every employee I met from analyst to senior leadership was extremely willing to help me advance my career.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have worked at Accenture for 12 weeks instead of 10, however I am very excited to return again next fall.

Advice

Applicants need to be professional, sharp, and willing to adapt to any situation. The project environment can be extremely variable, and therefore it is important to be both intellectually curious an agile.

Warehouse Distribution Intern

May - June 2019 • Ewing Township, NJ

What I liked

The hands-on supply chain foundational experience in the warehouse was valuable.

What I wish was different

I wish we as interns didn't have to do busy/mundane/not mind work most of the time. It didn't sit well with my brain, I really wanted to be thinking of new solutions to problems! (because ETS runs with inefficiencies!)

Advice

Definitely be prepared to stand and move all day on your feet, 8-4:30.

What I liked

I liked learning the ins and outs of a warehouse that uses my major i am learning.

Technology Summer Analyst

June - August 2019 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

I liked that I was not just treated as an intern (getting coffee, filing, etc.). I was treated as a full-time Analyst and was given large amounts of responsibility. I also really enjoyed getting to network with other interns and employees and expand my network and knowledge about the industry I hope to join.

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to start earlier! Accenture only offers two large on-boarding times (one for semester students and one for quarter students), and the one for quarter students started at the end of June. I wish I could have started right after finishing finals.

Advice

Ask questions and don't be afraid to take initiative. People are always going to be busy but if you make your presence known they will treat you with more respect and maybe even give you a cool new project to work on!

Advice

Always show dedication and enthusiasm in everything you do because you never know what that might lead you to and also because there is always something to learn!

IT Consultant

September 2017 • St. Louis, MO

What I liked

As a consultant, there are a variety of projects you can work on. And if you do not like a specific job, you can look for a new project as soon as the current one is done. Or if the project is long term, you can work with HR to find a roll-off date and a replacement. My company is also very invested in their employees personal growth, both in and out of work. There many volunteer opportunities and classes you can partake in.

What I wish was different

I wish I had found this job sooner. It took me an entire year to find a full time office job.

Advice

Be open to try new things. Not all occupations have a "shoe-in" college major. Accenture will hire consultants with all backgrounds due to their presence in nearly every industry and expertise.They primarily look for active minds and problem-solving attitudes. Also, if it is taking you awhile to find your permanent job, try to stay mentally active by volunteering or continuing your studies (not necessarily by going back to school). This will show interviewers that you are active, self-motivated, and are willing to improve yourself.

IT Consultant

September 2017 • St. Louis, MO

What I liked

As a consultant, there is a wide variety of jobs and projects I can do. If I do not like a specific job, I can search for something new as soon as the project is over. With Accenture's vast network, there are available projects in almost every industry and expertise.

What I wish was different

I wish I had found my current job sooner. It took me a year to have a full time office job.

Advice

Be open to trying something new. There are many occupations that do not have a "shoe-in" college major; instead of looking for a specific major or study, they look for an active mind and a problem-solving attitude. Also, if it is taking time to find your permanent job, try to stay mentally active, either with studies or volunteering to show you are still improving yourself.
