Accenture

A lot of diversity. Most of the people in my office are from India and the Philippines. 90% are visa workers and about 10% are citizen workers.

Very cheap company. Pay is TERRIBLE.

Sr. software engineers make around $65k here as opposed to ~$100k at any other company.

The bench: If you are not on a project, then you are put on the bench. If you are on the bench for too long, you will be released from the company.

Also, you do NOT get to choose your projects. This means if you are pursuing, let's say, web development, and there is a role that opens up for a documentation writer, you will be stuffed into that role.

Now, let's say a web development role opens up a week after you join your documentation role. Can you make the switch? Nope! Accenture will not allow that until your role/contract is up with the documentation position.

Basically, Accenture does not care about what you want to do with your career and how you want to build your resume. I know software engineers that got stuck in tech support roles for over a year. Huge waste of time. That does nothing for your resume.

Stay away from this company, as you will inevitably get stuffed into 1-dimensional, stagnant positions. A lot of my coworkers are trying to leave the company. The attrition rate at this company is also very poor.

Increase pay. We are overworked and underpaid. We are a multi-billion dollar company! Where does all that money go every quarter?

We are a tech company and you don't even offer Wi-Fi in the office. The entire ADC office is fed up with the low pay. The raises are ridiculously low as well.

Also, you need to account for cost of living fluctuations every year. You cannot live on a $50k "software engineer" salary in LA, Austin, Denver, etc.
