Accenture

• Good culture.
• Good coworkers.
• Great network of advisors. The company provides everyone with internal HR reps, career counselors, as well as an experienced ACC person who you can talk to confidentially and comfortably for no other reason than advice and learning about the company.
• Lots of opportunities to learn and grow, either through company-provided training or roles in technologies you aren't familiar with.

Depending on position and location, salaries range from slightly to moderately under industry standards.

As an entry-level employee, you have little say in your initial projects, which means you can be placed in roles and technologies that have nothing to do with your ultimate career objectives. While this would be acceptable and maybe even desirable for someone starting out wishing to learn more, working in a particular field or role type tends to cement you into that field in the eyes of further projects, leading to a situation where you can get sidetracked and then stuck.

Work-life balance can be slightly harsh on some projects. This would be fine given that overtime is paid and the company is upfront about this inevitability, but management also hints very strongly that they disapprove of charging overtime. A fellow worker was asked to consider how long their lunch break was, if they got up for water, or how long they went to the bathroom (seriously?) before trying to bill overtime hours that you can be sure they actually worked. Either make strides to improve work-life balance and discourage overtime, or accept that you are going to get charged as is. It's not like the standard salary ACC pays is exorbitantly high to begin with.

Try to align employees, especially new hires who will need real-world testing to solidify their training of choice, with actual experience in their field and their career aims. If projects dictate that they be shifted elsewhere out of necessity, don't simply forget; make a point to bring them back to their original track. After all, they are probably strongest in it and will produce better work for you there anyway.
