Advice to Senior Management – Although Accenture is hiring in good no.s, that's very good. But take diligent steps "Not to degraded in the quality of resources getting hired." especially fresh from colleges. This impacts the overall professional environment of the organisation, motivation of the supervisor and adversely effects appraisals. Please do not compare within Indian market (e.g. TCS, Infosys) when coming to the appraisals. Quantity of huge employee bank should not be compromised with quality. Accenture was a dream IT company till 2007.. we are putting too much effort on cheap cost, profit making. Please take steps forward to create a good Indian client data base.

Advice to Senior Management – Focus on identifying individual strengths in new employees rather than simply accepting their role as limited to the one they have been hired into.

Current Employee – been working at Accenture full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Project options, people, and the culture

Cons – HR processes can take a while when you need assistance with an HR issue (switching roles, locations, IT hardware issues, etc.) and there is not one specific person to reach out to, so have to go through a hotline, which prolongs processes.

Former Employee – worked at Accenture full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – - Awesome people.
- Lots of opportunities. This may depend on location but generally Accenture has many clients with many different roles.
- No shortage of people to meet. Accenture is a big company and have offices in many locations. Even if you work out of one client site, there are community meetings, gatherings etc. Great way to expand your network very quickly.
- Many chances to travel (if you're into that), whether for training or roles.

Cons – - Pay is subpar at best (engineers)
- Hard to focus on one skill, as consultants you're sent wherever you're needed and do whatever the project requires. You may have "staffing preferences" but it depends heavily on what's available, and eventually you'll be "forced" to take a role you may not want.
