Accenture

I like the culture and the people in the company. The benefits are at par or slightly above competitors' in the country. I started with a very low salary, but the increase through the years has been very satisfying. I just don't know if we can keep this up for this year, given the economic downturn.

Staying in the company builds up market value through classroom/computer trainings and exposure to different clients. The company has continued to support my plans for continuous learning through certifications/mentoring programs.

I also like working with bright people who have kept their feet on the ground.

I don't like working during the holidays. Sometimes, with the company's commitment to deliver to the client on time, we have to work on vacations. Grr...

I also don't like the laddering system for performance evaluation – it's forced ranking.

Times are tough. I hope the people know that they matter, even in the midst of so much cost-cutting within the company.
