Pros

A large organisation with offices and opportunities to work anywhere globally A few excellent partners in the strategy practice are great to work with for their expertise and their ability to support and empower their team

Cons

Some partners in the strategy practice are mostly focused on their own career with little interest in their team members. With its complex and narrow-minded performance management system Accenture has created a culture of fear largely sustained by this leadership, holding back the potential of many employees on many front. This culture of fear not only slows the organisation and drives tremendous stress. Some senior managers and partners - particularly true for the sustainability strategy practice - are just not properly qualified and experience for the job. A self-centered and patronizing attitude and a general lack of clarity and coherence are just a few explanations for its poor results to date.

Pros

There are no pros at Accenture.

Cons

Managers were verbally abusive (shouting, name calling) and at times physically abusive. Accenture staff/managers were fundamentally dishonest and gossip was a daily occurrence. Most of all the staff is low class and dumb. Not one of the people I worked with (high level analysts) had a degree from an accredited school. They were former secretaries who were so desperate that they would do anything for a pay check. Do Not Work at Accenture if you have any self esteem.

Pros

Flexible working time, cannot think of anything else...

Cons

Management promoting the one way "communication", constant pushed lay-offs (they grab you from your desk, take you to a meeting room and make you sign the redundancy papers). Lack of promotions, micromanagement...the list goes on and on
