About Accenture
With over 180,000 people working in 49 countries, Accenture is one of the world’s leading management consulting, technology services and outsourcing organisations.We help our clients become high-performance businesses by delivering innovation and our work invariably involves the application of information technology to business challenges.We’re helping transform Warner Bros into one of the first studios in the world to move its film and television, production, post production and distribution to an entirely digital end-to-end process. We helped Thomas Cook transform their vast, and diverse, decentralized business operations into a new streamlined shared services operating model - at a speed they described as “phenomenal”. And we brought mobile phone services to the developing world, allowing rural communities to reap the social and economic benefits of communication for the first time.

Why Accenture?

Perhaps this is why we have been consistently voted one of the leading graduate employers in “The Times Top 100 Graduate Employers”. There is a surprisingly close-knit feel to working at Accenture and from the day you start, you begin to build informal networks that provide help and support throughout your career.You control your own development and promotion is based entirely on the skills you acquire and the contribution you make, whilst flexible working programmes allow you to manage your schedule to suit you. We also actively encourage people to get involved in community and charitable activities that make a real difference to communities across the UK and around the world.
