Accenture

• Social community
• Opportunities if you know the right people
• Would only recommend to friends if I know they are workaholics

• People talk negatively about management and the company more often than positively, though management does not know this (or doesn't want to hear it).

• The starter salary is on the low side but OK.

• There is social pressure (many "optional" events).

• Work/life balance can be tricky. Working 9 to 10 hours is normal (again: social pressure).

• Management and schedulers hold back "details" (not so interesting parts) about projects if you don't ask about it.

• No hotel or other arrangement is provided when on project in your home country, even though the distance might be farther than when working cross-border.

• Many nice and skilled people leave (too soon) because of these factors.

• Promotions are scarce and the procedure is vague.

Get to know how people really think about the company. People say it's OK to management, but behind their backs, it's the opposite.
