      A waste of my time

      Pros

      Good salary and benefits. Work from home while on the bench.

      Cons

      I was hired as a Senior Business Analyst February 2015. They had no projects whatsoever. They kept me on the bench and searching for roles. Out of nowhere, I get an phone call saying they are terminating my employment. No warning or anything. I ask why? They say it's because they have no demand. So now I quit my stable job and now have no job. Offered severance pay of 1 week.

      Pros

      Nothing great to talk about . Of my 10 years of career this was the "only " bad experience.

      Cons

      Least recognition for expertise . Full of politics.People who can keep managers happy without doing any actual work stays in the business.

      Be prepared to work day and night to satisfy the tidal of unrealistic expectations and poorly managed projects

      Senior manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - I had 1 great year at Accenture. Interesting and challenging projects and inspiring leaders to learn from. Over the last 2 years, the company has changed dramatically. - The main pro was the people (senior executives to learn from and great peers to work with). However, extremely high attrition has resulted in many of them leaving the company.

      Cons

      How long have I got? - Long hours - absolutely no work life balance - Projects are poorly staffed and not scoped realistically, placing a huge amount of pressure on these left to deal with the mess - Lean business model has resulted in every person being stretched to breaking point to deliver to plans and costs which are completely unrealistic - The company promotes itself as highly focussed on training and development. However, resources are so thinly stretched that you work in constant "fire fight mode" without any time for training or support from senior management to develop and deliver - The complete abdication of responsibility from senior executives (at least 80% of those I have worked with do not support staff or provide adequate direction), but place huge pressure on all levels below to do their jobs for them - Performance management and promotion system does not work. Like with every consultancy, playing the political game is key to success - but the ability to get promoted / pay is not commensurate with effort and ability
