Accenture

• Multinational "well-regarded" in the market;
• Excellent health insurance with no co-payment;
• Almost unlimited vouchers for obtaining certifications;
• Possibility of remote work, depending on the client and project;
• Great colleagues (the company's biggest strength).

• The salary and benefits are well below market average.

• HR is nonexistent and turns a blind eye to many abuses and situations of exploitation and burnout by clients. They publicize initiatives and numbers for reporting complaints where they pretend to care about what you have to say, but behind the scenes, this looks very bad for you, as the executive is in charge of everything.

• Leadership prefers to hire and pay more for external hires than to promote those who have been with the company longer. It's common to see colleagues stay in the same position and/or on the same project for 2, 3, and 4 years. Many deserve promotions and don't get them, while some indeed don't deserve them but have compromising ties with leadership – therefore they are also never let go.

• There are many training and development initiatives, but there is no available time for employees to participate in them. The vast majority of employees, especially those in lower positions who started their careers at the company, learn things "on the run" from projects. In the end, they learn absolutely nothing, or they learn in completely misguided ways and need to relearn in the future.

• For the same reason as above, there is an absurd knowledge gap between professionals. Those with more time at the company and previous market exposure tend to hold much more knowledge, while newcomers, juniors, and interns – for many reasons beyond their control – don't know the basics. This creates a huge imbalance in squad composition and a lot of frustration for both sides (newcomers vs. experienced).

• Like most consultancies, you are a mere servant of the client who cannot question, disagree with, or refuse absolutely anything they request. Complaints, even if justified, are extremely poorly viewed by leadership, as it is advocated by them that the maxim "if the client is paying, then they are in charge" applies. Therefore, your career in the company depends entirely on the client you are assigned to, and this gets even worse when there is a project downturn, when waves of colleagues are laid off, almost on a "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" basis, and those who remain feel even more pressure to meet surreal expectations and deadlines.

• Good luck if you want to transition to another area. Despite the company being huge and having several departments, there is immense bureaucracy and hierarchy, and between an internal employee and an external one, they always opt for the external one, even if you have received excellent evaluations and are competent and hardworking.

Conclusion: Overall, a terrible company to build a career and reach higher goals. Perhaps good for complacent individuals, sycophants, or those who simply want something temporary.

Seu RH é figurativo e sua liderança é extremamente despreparada, tanto tecnicamente quanto na gestão de pessoas. Passem a colocar seus funcionários no mesmo pedestal em que colocam seus clientes e vejam a mágica acontecer.
