Pros

Good opportunity to get your foot in the door, learn the corporate culture, and build your experience. Learn from highly skilled peers.

Cons

Low pay compared to other similar companies.

Chases the dollar in selling work rather than offering genuine quality.

Virtually no HR.

You will be isolated in developing your career.

Work environment is sterile.

Poor rewards that fail to encourage hard work.

Unavoidable long terms and poor overtime pay (that's 50% of your standard hourly rate - including full weekend days).

Advice to Management

The company is a poor place to develop a long-term career, which is why many people leave and don't look back.

Improve the rewards and pay scheme for employees (not just managers and senior execs) and make a genuine effort to make employees feel connected and that they are doing a worthwhile job in the company.

Until then, Accenture is a company to avoid!
