Accenture Package Application Development Associate reviews

Have to wait long time for project

As with most consulting, networking for a new role can present specific challenges depending on the local office and regional/service group politics. The apprenticeship program that I went through wasn't really all that helpful in gaining hard skills that will make you sellable to new clients. Because the company isn't performing well at the moment a lot of the clients that Accenture normally works with want people with hard experience. The company also doesn't do a good job with HR support (if you can even call it that) relative to other companies I've worked for. The HR team is more talent fulfillment and "recruiter" focused and not ethics/compliance/benefits focused - making it difficult to find support. Many clients also don't know much about the apprenticeship program and expect the standard to reach the level of a "normal" employee which isn't always clear- so the resources apprentices are getting to match what clients are asking for.
