Great company to work for.

ProsAccenture has excellent benefits, bonuses and merit increases based on your yearly rating. There is a great flexible hours arrangement for those who need it.

ConsThere can be a lot of red tape to get things done. Some of the mandatory steps to close out a project are not necessary.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep on rewarding those who work the hardest.

Accenture has the people that work together and build strong relationships

Management Consultant (Current Employee)
Toronto, ON

I have been working at Accenture full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe people at Accenture build strong professional and personal relationships. There is a always someone that is willing to help and guide you through every hurdle

ConsThe pay does not always reflect the quality and amount of work sometimes. It is a consulting firm and some people do have a cut-throat and beauricratic mentality.

The company with contrasts

Systems Analyst (Current Employee)
Toronto, ON

I have been working at Accenture full-time for more than a year

ProsIf you are a mediocre it'll be one place which wouldn't mind offering you a position but beware, you might be setup for failure.

ConsThe downsides list goes on, there's so much disconnect across verticals and divisions it stops baffling after a point. There's no accountability top down and no working feedback mechanism. On any given day you can face so many unprofessionalism including but not limited to incompetence and lack of integrity/ethics/transparency being highest.

Advice to Senior ManagementOne global company is a misnomer, there's complete lack of alignment, co-ordination and synchroneity across every area across geography.

Good for beginner but terrible for experienced professional

Manager (Current Employee)
Toronto, ON

I have been working at Accenture full-time for more than a year

ProsIndustry Standard methodologies, Good place for networking, Beginner can learn aggressive and arrogant management style (Good in consulting company only)

ConsLong list for experienced hire professional.

Working in ACN means Forget your family and social life. No work life balance
Regardless how much knowledge and wealth of experience you carry, you are "Alien" until learn and adjust "Accenture Way" doing.
Not a good pay master
ACN only care for Partner and rest are "workers" including Senior Manager and Manager
In Summary: This company not good fit for "Hard working professional" but good for "Hardly working sales man"

Advice to Senior ManagementRequire to change culture and attitude towards "Experienced Hire professional". Need some initial training session for experience hire to get go.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
