Pros

Great name to work for. Good impression for the next job you apply for. Training and personal development opportunities. Big projects and clients to work for.

Cons

It doesn't matter which office you work at; Accenture is well known for its average/below-average salaries.

Depending on your project, they may make you work as much as 100 extra hours per month. Only 24 of those extra hours are paid. Employees are treated like slaves and lured with the hope of a raise.

Advice to Management

You always claim to have the best talent. Well, let's be honest, you don't. Even when you do have some great employees, they leave in a short time because of your low salaries.

Raise your salaries, pay for every extra hour your employees work, and know that even if you pay them, you shouldn't make them work every weekend for months! Maybe it's time to lower your profit margin goals for your projects. This isn't the early 2000s anymore.
