My name is Nicolas and I'm Bleyh since July 2008, at Accenture Technology Solutions. Before that I studied computer science at the TU Dresden media and worked then 22 months at a software company. Due to lack of perspectives and variety I then decided to seek a new challenge for Accenture.
The start
The one-hour interview with 2 Accenture employees went smoothly, so I joined Accenture Technology Solutions as an experienced hire nothing stood in the way. After I for two days on the Orientation Seminar in Kronberg admitted into the secrets of my new professional home was, I waited anxiously for my first project assignment. This 2-week waiting period I use for completion of some of the many e-learning, the Accenture offers to its employees.
The first project
Then it went off at last, and that at a European bank in the Capital Markets area. The task of the project was to introduce the bank a new trading system for interest rate derivatives and securities. I was assigned to the integration team, whose task was to create functional designs for the various interfaces to the new trading system. Now I have to say I prior to this project are not great experience and knowledge in Banking and Capital Markets area had. Hence the first few weeks were marked by that, to familiarize myself with the rather complex new material. I would not see my role as a typical ATS role, as the focus clearly on the functional area and was not on the technical area. Precisely because of these challenges has made the project with a lot of fun. There was also a high level of international (the team consisted of members from four different nations, the project work took place both in Germany and in Italy from) and a high degree of interaction with other teams and the customer. So had created functional interface concepts with be in charge of the respective department discussed, debated and ultimately by the appropriate department also declined.
The second project
For my second and current project, I moved back to the same customer. This time it was, however, to further develop a risk management system that had to be added to credit reports in relation to the Basel 2 requirements for many functions. The department created this concept, what the development team had to implement them. Technologies have been there, especially Java and SQL. This was not a pure Accenture team, but a mixed team of ATS colleagues internal employees as well as other external developers. In contrast to my first project here, the focus was so much on the technical side, although I naturally acquire the technical basis and terms of credit risks had. Also on this project I feel very comfortable because I am involved in the preparation of technical concepts, self-responsible solutions can implement and expand my technical skills.
Conclusion
Regardless of the project work at ATS offer additional opportunities to participate in activities and to get involved. Thus, there are several events each year, through which all ATSler local or Germany-wide level. Other areas where you can participate in are, for example, the Shaping of the recruiting or training.
As a conclusion to my previous experience with ATS I can only say: I wanted a change, challenges and excitement, and I get it.

Accenture active. 
First Contact My first contact with Accenture, I had already in early 2007. Through a friend I was on the company attention and stood there in my studies nor the internship on the agenda, I attended the "open door" to me closer to inform about the company. It quickly became clear to me that the professional image of the IT consultant is right for me and an internship a great way represented to confirm this.
Two months later
morning I sat next to many other Businessmen in suits in the orbit. It was my first day at work and I was promised an internship on a large project. The title of the position was "developer for a large logistics companies sought international environment." I was pretty excited because I have so far in a 3-man company was active. It has now been used in a team with 10 employees, which in turn belonged to a cluster with 50 employees. Despite this size, I was immediately accepted as a full member of the team and my colleagues could immediately elaborate on current issues. My first real experience of success was the active support in the timely completion of an application.
After the internship
My work during the internship has given me much joy, I learned a lot and had both the work and then a lot of fun with colleagues. A little sad I saw the end of that time come closer and closer, until one day my team leader was unexpectedly at my desk and asked me if I would not like to write my thesis on the project. This means: Next in a great team work, have the freedom to experiment half a year with new technologies and the well-known even in an environment. Clear that I accepted the offer without hesitation. My thesis was entitled "Evaluation of Ajax frameworks for existing JEE applications. In April 2008 a personal copy was on the desk of my professor and my team leader.
After the thesis
In the last days of my diploma time my team leader came again to my desk. There I was quite relieved, was on one side to one year of experience to look back on a major project and was on the other side of my degree in my pocket. He made the offer to continue to stay on the project. Accenture had expressed interest that I have the team on the project in the long to reinforce sight ...
Today
I'm still on the same project. The unexpected here: everything is interesting and exciting than ever before, I believed a year ago to know already all the processes and tasks, I quickly became a better informed. Today, in addition to the many other tasks within applications to my work. Including eg coordination and harmonization of onshore and offshore teams, technical support from five different production line, and the development of a new application along with an international team.
The future ...
will soon be the first "Go Live" of an application where I could be responsible for the design and development. Now is already been some time now I have two years of professional experience, and yet every day feels a bit like the time: there are always fun and exciting experience at Accenture.
way, there is also another new intern in our team, which I look after other things. He was like I was directly involved in the work and help the team very energetic in its support.
Who knows, maybe someday you read his report here in the Accenture recruiting weblog.
Until then ... best regards, Steffen
