Pros

Accenture has good branding in the industry, and the starting pay is better than many SMEs.

Cons

The type of project and its clients matter a lot. It can make or break the start of your career with Accenture.

Also subject to the management on the project. If your project's management doesn't understand tech or doesn't know how to run your project, a technical career can suddenly turn into a political one, and you become an email and PPT warrior. So, under the guise of "need to do this for project delivery," you won't get the job scope or career growth you were promised.

Sometimes, there are zero OT benefits when you have to rush because management ignores dealing with actual problems.

Advice to Management

If you want to solve your high turnover issue, don't treat technical people as replaceable workhorses. Respect them and prioritize them over people who want to climb the corporate ladder for higher pay. Groom technical people to learn and problem-solve, then groom them into leaders. Instead of grooming smart people in general to be PPT warriors.
