Pros

As in many organizations you come across some really great people. If you have a great manager you have autonomy and flexibility, although this experience is not consistent across the business.

Cons

Accenture did used to be truly human, people felt valued, people were recognized for a job well done, and people had the freedom to be creative to do the right thing. Since Julie Sweet this has become harder and harder as the biggest driving factor is not client or people its reducing cost and driving revenue, and only keeping shareholders happy! (and not forgetting the senior leader promotions and big bonuses, most people have not had a pay rise in 3 - 4 years and promotions are by exception only). This has all become the goal at all costs, and people are simply burning out or leaving. The recent HR transformation has been ill thought through at an operational level, senior leaders are afraid to get their hands dirty and dont seem to respond to the state of their teams, they are not brave enough to say we have made a mistake and this is not working in the way we thought. The ambition to revolutionize our organization is breaking it, and this is something they sell to our clients! Right now i would avoid at all cost. There is little to no work life balance, a management team so far removed from the business its steering a ship they dont know how to drive.

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.
