Accenture

• Highly reputable firm.
• Free food, nice office.
• Fairly priced and nice benefits, the typical ones but multiple health insurance options.
• Random deals with rental car companies and perks and benefits.

Don't join Accenture if you're fresh out of college; they won't promote you or get you staffed appropriately on good projects, unless you're lucky. But most of my peers have the same opinion.

They had a backlog of promotions for 2-3 years straight.

Joining at entry-level in hopes to be a developer in the USA, specifically California, is hopeless because getting projects is impossible due to being a high-cost resource, even for business development too.

The process of finding a project on the bench is unbearable because HR doesn't even help you; you're on your own.

Disorganized internal team.

Projects: I rolled onto a project and was lied to that it was a software engineering project. They required me to commute almost 2 hours both ways to client site while my ACN manager on the project had no visibility to my role but lied that my SOW wasn't signed. I wasted 4 months of my career and commute being in a project at client site where they didn't know what to do with me or what my role was.

DEI was cancelled.

Get better help with navigating the bench. Be transparent before hiring how difficult it is for a specific skillset to have project opportunities such as programming. Practice what you preach in terms of DEI and layoffs. Be transparent.
