A great company that can get bogged down with procedures

Pros

An exciting, fast-paced environment where everyone comes together to find solutions to complex problems. People are actual people and not corporate robots (for the most part). There's lots of flexibility on remote work and a very generous PTO policy. It includes a good 401K match and an employee discount share purchase program.

Cons

Can get a little bogged down with the amount of processes in place. Typical with large companies, Accenture has a process for literally everything. Often there are meetings about having meetings, and everything needs an approval of some kind.

Promotions are handled in groups during one major review at year-end and one minor review at mid-year. There are minimum "Time Served" requirements for these promotions as well.

Salary decisions are driven by HR, with managers having little to no input on the value of an individual.

Advice to Management

Don't forget to take a step back so you don't lose sight of the actual goal. Sometimes the forest can get lost in the trees.
