How can we use technology as a force for good in the not-for-profit sector?
Whether you're a seasoned hacker or this is your first time, we invite you to come up with an innovative solution to real-world issues facing not-for-profit organisations.
Whether you're an undergraduate student studying IT, engineering, maths, science, business, or the creative arts, we believe you have what it takes to collaborate to create out-of-the-box tech solutions. You and your team have the potential to develop solutions that could make a real difference for the not-for-profit organisation you choose and the greater community!
We want to see how YOU can use your skills to bring together technology and your team's collective human ingenuity to help increase the positive impact of these not-for-profits organisations.
Over the weekend (16th-17th January, 2021), your challenge is to build a working prototype to solve a problem provided by one of the not-for-profits.
Keen to get involved? Apply individually and we will put you in a team or get a team of 4 and register today.
Sign up before Sunday, 29th November 2020.

As a business analyst, day-to-day -I facilitate/attend multiple meetings -Create high level documentation -Act as a communication bridge between the business and technical designers/developers
My role as an analyst is to analyse data and system requirements of the client. My day-to-day responsibilities depend on the phase of the project I am on but will require analysis, reporting, and organisation.
I am a Software Engineer for the company that I am contracted out to. This can involve anything from writing code to complete business problems to writing Unit tests, manual testing and writing automation scripts on a day-to-day basis.

Pros and cons of working at Accenture Australia and New Zealand
Pros
The diversity in projects and the opportunity to get involved wherever interests you. You really can drive your own career and there's not much red tape.
Training and learning are really important at Accenture which I really like.
Inclusive and work-life balance.
Open office space makes meeting coworkers and collaborating with peers easy.
Plenty of free drinks/dinners are available throughout the year and ubers/meal credits are provided depending on the nature of the project.
Cons
Having to apply for projects - it was quite demoralizing to be constantly rejected for projects when it's your first graduate job.
There is no clarity around the promotion process and there has been a lack of promotions in recent times.
My initial project was not in the industry that I wanted to work in but quickly realised I could incorporate sustainability into all industries.
Pay is standard among similar firms. Graduate salaries have barely changed in the last 5-10 years.
Performance and promotion reviews do not involve a direct conversation with the employee/reviewee.
