Pros

The offices are Ok if you ever get to go in one

Cons

They expect hard work (late evenings weekends), to go to any location worldwide (normally a grim business park in the middle of no-where) at the drop of a hat - potentially for years, 4 days a week and they don’t reward performance with pay or promotion, even if you have glowing feedback from clients / leadership alike. Pay is not in line with the market and I have experienced more junior males being readily promoted above females in some areas, who have predominantly male executive teams making the decisions. This is unfortunate considering the external propaganda released on inclusion and diversity. ( I wish they played by the standards set out in those videos!) The model is to burn out bright young energetic people and then replace them with new graduates, who they can pay more cheaply yet will charge clients a high margin for those people and encourage others to resign. Some of the leadership are known bullies and my practice has quite a toxic culture.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
