Pros

Everyone is very nice and most people are pretty outgoing. Colleagues at every level are highly responsive. Everyone is focused on delivering excellence to clients. Funding for team building, training, social outings, BizDev, etc seems incredibly abundant. >5 weeks of vacation time. Dollar for dollar (up to 6%) matching on 401(k).

Cons

The people are generally average or above average. There are very few really stellar people who stick around. Managing Directors get to that level because they can sell, not because they're good leaders or good at developing talent. There is a significant bias that favors those who have spent their entire careers at Accenture. They often say working 1 year at Accenture is like working 3 years anywhere else...this is really not true and is indicative of the overly high opinions these "leaders" have of themselves. Not as many "leaders" have advanced degrees as you'd hope/expect.

Pros

1. Work Life Balance is amazing 2. The culture of the organisation is generally very good 3. There are significant opportunities to travel abroad. Most travel is to North America and UK 4. Good opportunity to specialise in a particular industry of your choice

Cons

1. Accenture GTIN has recently been renamed at Accenture Capability Network. This has significant ly hampered the branding of this organisation. Outsiders now associate Accenture Capability Network to MCKC and Bain Capability Centre. Having worked here for a significant amount of time, I can tell you, quality of work at accenture GTIN is generally better than some of its back office competitors. 2. GTIN has two career tracks : the GC-MC track (hires from IIM, ISB, XLRI etc) and SLO track (hires from IT companies, KPO's and industries). Whilst there is a clear salary differentiation amongst the two tracks, people from both the tracks end up doing similar type of work. 3. The quality of work at GTIN is generally very average. A lot of work revolves around business transformation, IT implementation and Process Improvement. The focus of the top management is clearly on scaling up, achieving chargeability targets and the quality of work is not a consideration 4. Career growth in GTIN is much slower as compared to our peers in India Business. You may end up spending as much as 4 years at each level. My overall feedback is if you are joining GTIN directly from a top business school, you may want to re-consider your decision, as this is probably not a very good fit. Having said that, it is a good brand to be associated with early in your career
