Pros

Great benefits (both the Vision and Dental get a lot of comments on how good the insurance is).

Lots of opportunities to learn.

Work from home (at least for now).

Great if you end up in the role that you were hired for and actually wanted. I did and I am happy! Others not so much.

401k match: 6% dollar for dollar once you've reached the year and then the start date (January and maybe other times in the year?).

15% off Accenture Stock (ESPP).

Cons

People get hired for a specific role, but what they don't tell you is that you have to apply internally and may end up in some other role.

Recruiters tell you what you want to hear about salary, but realize when they say the next level is X amount, that means people being hired at that upper level start at that amount and that isn't what you will be making when you level up.

No 401k match until January after my start date, even though I was told it would be at the 1-year anniversary date.

Advice to Management

Recruiters should be upfront with applicants about applying internally, and that they may end up in a different role than they are hired for.
