Pros

If you want to work with average people and get low pay it’s a great place to slack. Minimum hours if you want.

Cons

- Work is not valued, being friends with md is more important. Only bum kissing will get you far, good people either left or looking to leave - the system encourages mediocre people staying so no inspiring/intelligent colleagues in most part of the business - people either just clock in and out; or are burnt out from bum kissing. No one likes/cares about what they do - people in strategy looks down on everyone; digital looks down on MC, MC looks down on TC, TC looks down on operation etc etc - very toxic environment - promises for promotion/career progression but will not happen and you wouldn’t know why despite being told you’re a “top performer” and “keep doing what you are doing”. They will say there was no budget, then few months later acquired 500 people from other small competitors in smaller markets (sad) to be your boss. They don’t want to grow from within - it’s a lie - Very low pay, 40-60% lower than industry. If you ask them they will ask you to just walk especially if you need visa sponsorship - Loads training available but if you take them it will impact your chargeability and hence your performance. Its a joke. - no knowledge/support function compared to MBB. Every project feels like it’s the first time ACN doing it you have to start from scratch. You will be left in the wild Wild West with no support

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.
