Pros

- it's good to start your career in the IT branch - reachable managers, even when you won't have what they promised - good environment to learn on adaptability and flexibility - managers are overall responsible people. When that's not the case they lose their job quickly. They are also understanding and flexible. - good parties and events

Cons

- most contracts with Accenture as a vendor are arranged with Hays. That means no bonuses, no health insurance and no benefits of any kind. They organise parties and events to make you feel like you belong, but you are obviously a second-class worker. - almost impossible to get a promotion of any kind - changing project doesn't mean you are getting a change of contract or pay - managers and recruiters lie too often: holidays, changes, promotions, contract conditions: example 1- my recruiter said he had already arranged my Christmas holidays with my manager. That never happened and my manager didn't know him at all. 2) my recruiter told me I would have two types of shifts. Wrong. On my first day at work I was told I would have to deal with a third late shift. 3) my recruiter told me I would have the opportunity to have a direct contract with Accenture after 6 months. No one ever offered that to me and I never met any colleague in my position who got it.

Pros

Great way to get experience working with social media companies, learned a lot about politics, news, advertising, social media company, marketing, job postings and tech sales. In the project I was part of I learned a lot about the world. Most of my bosses were genuinely amazing but I did cycle through a good few. You learn a lot about working with fortune 100 clients. The consultants are nice to work with. You get experience training people, working with a wide variety of teams. Pretty good pay for my experience at the time, the hiring team is very nice and the hiring process was easy. Also I was given a therapist due to the nature of the work. Also got an hour of paid wellness, which was nice but I think that just extended the workday by one hour for no real reason. It does feel like important and purposeful work.

Cons

The project I was assigned to was not as traumatic as some other ones thankfully. But you see a lot of things, you see how crazy the world and the internet can be, which in these times can be hard to watch. I didn't get an annual raise.

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.
