Pros

It is actually pretty hard for me to give any positive points on Accenture. Unless you are born and bred into this culture I think you'll find it very political and not a place you'll enjoy spending your life. One of the main pros is similar to most consulting jobs - the travel perks. After working here for 2 years I hit executive platinum on American Airlines and had enough air and hotel points to provide a few free vacations.

Cons

I was a part of the management consulting arm during my 2 years here. Unfortunately, Accenture hasn't made enough of a move into the management consulting business to have projects for all of their management consultants. This leads to staffing on IT implementation and outsourcing roles because that is the majority of work Accenture wins. The management of Accenture is at the heart of the dissatisfaction of its employees. Management is very political and if you get on the good side of a partner, you are set for life. If you come from 'industry' as they say, breaking into the Accenture culture is tough if you are the kind of person who wants to do what is right for the client, not just what will make the partner look the best.

Pros

In Kelana Jaya, Accenture have 2 offices in the same building - Level 1 and 10. If you are in Level 10, consider yourself lucky.

Cons

If you’re in Level 1, honestly, good luck. The culture is terrible, and if you end up working on DMS, I’d seriously recommend thinking twice before accepting the offer. While not all teams may be this way, I was unlucky enough to be assigned to a specific team (for security reasons, I won’t mention names). Unfortunately, my teammates were selfish with their knowledge and impatient when I had questions. On top of that, their way of working felt outdated, inflexible and, frankly, very "cinapek." Overall, it was a really bad experience, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Pros

Teams can be quite nice to work with and overall perks are good. Projects are quite large and interesting.

Cons

HR will downgrade your level so that you get accustomed to Accenture ways of working and you get told you will get promoted within a year. Then guess what? Not a single experienced hire I've met has gotten any promotions in the past three years despite working tirelessly and at high stakes positions since they were overall cheap for projects given they had more experience at lower levels so could do management roles at consultant salaries. People who did get promoted are those that people already know in the department, sometimes even after 1 year at level, and managing smaller projects and teams. There is zero fairness. On top of this lack of promotions the company has not given any raises for staying at level so given the cost of living crisis you are basically losing money. To top it off you get zero training or support coming in, you don't even meet half your department and it takes months to get to know people.
