Pros

Travel. I am a person who likes to do business travel, and that was the perk I enjoyed most.

Cons

Where do I begin? They promise and say, and it's bunch of lies. The get you jumping hoops for nothing. I was laid-off due to performance, mind you it was my first review. Apperantly my first project with whom I asked for an early roll-off and did a complete transition for, gave me a below review. I was there only for four months. I never saw their actual feedback, and it was not on the system. My second project in which I was a year in, gave me a consistent with. No one, my managers, the current managers in the project I was schedule on knew about my planned lay-off. They mention something about changing from consulting to another workforce, but first I needed to find a project to "Adopt" me in that entity. When I did, the excuse was that they did get the right approvals and time was up. They want to keep you local, forgetting about your deploy to entity. As an engineer, I wanted to do functional and technical roles. One I finally got the opportunity, that's when they told me good-bye. I also found out, as a female, I did not get a signing bonus and salary was not competitive. The male-friends I had, got signing bonus and competitive salaries, and assigned to technical roles. Someone from HR said it was because they where engineers and had technical experience, I had more experience and technical background with them. In my 20 months, I only took one week of vacation. I had high hopes, gave everything, and ended up betrayed. Not the "adventure" i had hoped for at all.

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.
