Pros

Money - salaries are good but you'll earn every penny. Level of expertise - it is THE place of best practice. They have great systems & processes - just poor people skills to train them. Networking - a must have skill to get anything done here. Knowledge is so widly spread due to the size and high turnover of staff.

Cons

Poor feedback on individual performance. You can be marked down very easily if you change roles at the wrong time and/or your peers are performing badly. Even the brightest conifer may get lost amongst the dad wood there! They also have this once yearly, very formalised, review of you conducted by management behind closed doors. And if you speak of any of your rewards outside your formal review session - you get an instant formal discipline Too much consulting to little decision making! Your manager will always want to consult a minimum of about 3 other more senior managers before deciding on anything!

Pros

Great way to get experience working with social media companies, learned a lot about politics, news, advertising, social media company, marketing, job postings and tech sales. In the project I was part of I learned a lot about the world. Most of my bosses were genuinely amazing but I did cycle through a good few. You learn a lot about working with fortune 100 clients. The consultants are nice to work with. You get experience training people, working with a wide variety of teams. Pretty good pay for my experience at the time, the hiring team is very nice and the hiring process was easy. Also I was given a therapist due to the nature of the work. Also got an hour of paid wellness, which was nice but I think that just extended the workday by one hour for no real reason. It does feel like important and purposeful work.

Cons

The project I was assigned to was not as traumatic as some other ones thankfully. But you see a lot of things, you see how crazy the world and the internet can be, which in these times can be hard to watch. I didn't get an annual raise.

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.
