5.0
I recommend this employer

Things I liked most:

It has been an absolutely amazing experience. Acumen is full of incredibly talented, creative, and fun people. The Management is amazing, and is always there to give you feedback and to mentor you, yet at the same time is always asking you to give feedback back. As a Trainee (first), and Consultant (after) I was immediately given client facing tasks with a lot of responsibilities, allowing me to grow a lot and learn something new every day. Finally, regarding the environment, the atmosphere at Acumen allows you to truly be yourself, making you feel that you 'belong'. I haven't heard of a better workplace to date.

Things could have been better:

If I had to give feedback last year, I would've said "a Better Coffee Machine" - but that was recently fixed (showing that they also take constructive feedback onboard).

Things I liked most:

An excellent internship, in some ways more akin to a grad scheme in that you are rotated between different clients and different kinds of work. A hugely positive and enthusiastic working environment. Space for career progression given the right attributes. A respected company on the Brussels scene.
