Pros

Great culture, friendly employees, Shuttle Availability, Need to come to office only once or twice a week(depends on your manager)

Cons

Too slow paced not in terms of work, but in aligning employees to projects. It can take 1-2 years to get aligned to a project, and even receiving an offer letter may take 6-8 months. The overall progress here is very slow. After the probation period (following primers and other exams), employees are given an option to select the skill they want to be trained in. However, the actual training is often assigned randomly, without considering the chosen preference. This doesn’t end there—the project assigned later is also not guaranteed to match the skill in which the employee was trained. That, again, can be completely random. For freshers, it becomes quite difficult to get a purely technical role in such a setup. This makes me question why technical skills were heavily tested during the interview process in the first place. I have also heard seniors raise concerns about long work hours and managers who lack technical understanding and still push tasks even when they are not technically feasible..though this largely depends on the manager one gets. Since I have not yet been assigned a project and my current point of contact is polite, I haven’t personally faced these challenges so far. the bonuses are random, I got 0 bonus and 0 hike even after a year (Some of my colleagues in other markets have received good bonuses and hikes despite being on the bench, which makes the overall system feel unpredictable. Just too random not knowing why and how decisions are made? ) However, spending an entire year without being allocated to a single project is a serious concern, as it can negatively impact my career growth in the long run.

Pros

Allowed me to be an entrepreneur and be part of creating new intellectual capital. Supported my disability without question. Provided training in new technology.

Cons

Your career is built on you finding clients to bill your time against. In some cases, it may take longer than 30 days to locate the right opportunity.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
