Pros

Diverse opportunities. Comprehensive training opportunities. Mostly knowledgeable co-workers. Chance to travel. Industry leaders available as clients. Top IT consulting firm.

Cons

Accenture salaries are often extremely below the market rate.

Extreme competition if you want to be promoted.

Long hours, long commutes (in some cases), and frequent travels (in some cases).

Advice to Management

Please re-evaluate the pay grades and salaries offered to the employees. They are severely beneath market rates in some cases.

Also, either encourage HR to be completely honest when recruiting folks about the difference in treatment, placement, and salaries between the different workforces, or bridge the gaps closer.
