Pros
Pays well. Great Research and Tools. Quality Online Videos to learn from (but all in your own time) 20% of the MD’s actually care about people. 60% of MD’s actually care about their clients. Hires Great People who believe in Accenture
Cons
Actuality is nothing like the Employee Experience touted during Onboarding and Hiring. You are just a number. HR can’t handle the truth. 20% Turnover of staff annually. 60% of staff are always looking to leave. 80% of MD only care about themselves. Individuals set up to fail. Intense. Combative. 16 hours days expected but told charge only 8 hrs. 80% PowerPoint / 20% Add-Value. Pedantic. Minimal support, mentoring or coaching. Prepared to let great people sit on the bench unused for 90 days. Treats new associates and new hires badly. No assignment pipeline. Internal Assignment marketplace is a complete failure. Not used to actually assign staff. But a very nice and shiny system nevertheless. The HR function believes their own hype. Won’t see / Can’t see that Accenture values are not valued. CHRO is too self-absorbed to hire from within because front line consultants know the truth. HR says the right things but reality is fake.
