Pros

Good client opportunities Good resources for training Passionate about inclusion and diversity

Cons

Low pay compared to other consultancies. Shocking how low the more junior staff are paid when promoted compared to other companies who promote people. Can take 2-3 years on average to get a promotion for an extra 4 grand a year. When you break down the extra hours we spend after 5:30 workingm we are paid pretty poorly. We are expected to do non client work e.g internal initiatives which can take a good few hours a week which end up being done after work hours due to demanding client work. We do not get paid or rewarded for this. We are told this will help our promotion cases but in truth people have done really good jobs with these initiatives and not been rewarded. They promote work/life balance but no one really sees it.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
