Pros
The UX team is relatively young, most designers/managers are under 35. This makes it easy for you to have common topics with people around you if you are within this age group. Activities - The company held cool events such as boat trip, theme nights during festivals..etc. Exposure to clients - You will have a lot of opportunities to directly pitch to senior management. This helps to hone your public speaking skills and train you to sell your own design. The best thing here is that even the most junior person will get the chance to sell their own design directly to clients. You don't have to worry that others is going to sell your work since manager expects you to do that yourself. Hands on experience on the whole UX design process - You will have the opportunity to run user interviews, do usability test sections..etc. Everything will be very hands on. Huge earning potential - The salary here is very competitive, and as you become a Senior manager, you are basically a sale manager as you are expected to fulfill a quota and bring in clients. You will also get commissions.
Cons
Working in Accenture can be very stressful. Leaving at work at 11 p.m. everyday and working on holidays/weekends is very common. I know a guy who had worked 30 hours straight (I swear to god I did not make this up). People are very competitive and they take pride in being able to do 3 mans jobs on their own. Poor project management - This leads to impossible timeline that doesn't account for change request from client, unforeseen delay, over-promising on the project side. The result is that teammates hasto work overtime a lot and is not compensated. Lack of structure/ documentation. - This might come as a surprise to a firm that is known as first tier in the market. However, the lack of structure means that people had no idea on how to handle very common situations such as handling clients, running workshops..etc. And people are forced to keep reinventing the wheel on problems that keeps occurring since they don't know what is the best way to do things. Project goals are not clear - People seem to have a lack of focus on what must be done. This results in poor prioritization of tasks and a lot of the work being done turns out to be irrelevant. Raises are very conservative. They very rarely promote people.
