Pros

Great brand on you CV Once you have been there, anything else is actually not that bad nor as stressful

Cons

Intimidating and bullying culture. Lots of mindless admin and convoluted processes procedures. Blame culture- they are always looking for someone to throw the blame on and it’s all a big covering your back game. No room for new ideas or independent thought- things are as they are and you jus have to deal with it. Absolutely no life work balance- it’s extremely long hours, working during weekends is not said but quietly expected and lunch breaks don’t exist. They go as far as saying that if you have 30 minutes to have lunch you don’t have enough work. Your life belongs to the organization. Big egos that enjoy using heir position of authority to intimidate others. This might be obvious by now, but there is no interest in employee wellbeing. Nobody cares about you and some managers don’t even acknowledge you existence when you walk into the office unless they need you to do something. The result is low morale, fear, and a very high turnover. Don’t be fooled by the glossy offices and the high tech look of the place. It is a soulless big corporate where you become another cog in wheel. Utterly soul crushing and negative experience. I have never been so unhappy at a job in my life.

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.
