Accenture

Interesting projects. Great chance for people without experience to start an IT career. Flexible working hours, remote work possibilities, pizza events, and technology conferences. Also, there are highly-skilled key specialists who really inspire juniors to learn and to grow as a professional with their own example.

In overall, the company is an amazing place for students, interns, and juniors – for working there 1-1.5 years for an IT career start.

Not recommended to stay longer; other companies can provide more attractive career growth.

• Salaries are significantly below market. Senior developers earn less than juniors in the majority of other companies.

• Code quality may be low, because often code could be written by interns and juniors.

• The dress code is more or less acceptable, but it would be nice to make it more casual. We are in the 21st century, and restrictions for athletic shoes are outdated, especially taking into account the fact that anyway, no one follows them.

• Some people can stay 2 or 3 years on one level with no salary increase, probably because of 'soft skills' (e.g., being introverted and not participating in company and capability activities aside of their main work).

Increase salaries by 40-50% for junior levels. Otherwise, people will not stay with you longer, as the first other company will contact them.

Remove all this semi-formal dress-code stuff; it is useless in IT.

Use Lavazza instead of the coffee you have.

Promote good technical specialists (who might be calm in self-assessment but are very good at coding) instead of endlessly smiling 'proactive' people who talk much and do less.
