Accenture

Provides a lot of extra-curricular activities, pays for certification exams, and offers standard benefits.

1. Definitely not a company for highly technical professions. Engineers are undervalued and made to work in roles that are either not related to their specialty or offer no technical progression. Basic tech skills are bragged about too often. When a project gets marketed, it's the project management that gets the credit, not the engineers.

2. I couldn't believe it; on my first day at work, I had to APPLY for a role in a project. I was an experienced hire on a specific technology, and it took me weeks to land in a role that I wasn't even specialized in.

3. Huge division between management and employees. Management has very little involvement in everyday activities, but they decide where low-level employees go (which project). There is so much politics at the higher levels in some projects that favorite employees are just circulated among them, leaving others unable to apply or even get out of roles.

4. Extremely low pay and a slow promotion process that depends on your fame and visibility rather than your actual contributions.

5. Beware of tons of marketing jargon and a lot of buzzwords like "cloud," "automation," and "data." All high-level stuff, but no details on the inside.

Be involved in what your engineers are doing.

If you want to be a leading tech company, your leaders should know how the tech works. Tone down on marketing buzzwords without a clear-cut vision as to how your people are actually implementing tech.

Train people on more advanced levels in their tech profession; don't just settle for numbers of basic certifications.
