Pros

Pay is good. Option for buying company stock at a discount. You're not immediately laid off if your project ends.

Cons

Orientation felt a lot like what I imagine a cult indoctrination would be like. They paraded in different people singing the praise of Dear Leader Accenture and repeating how it's the best place ever for anyone and everyone. Instead of giving people well deserved time off with 10 holidays, they only give 9. In place of the 10th, you either have to do their day of service or take PTO. If you don't want to give them rights to your likeness for future advertising or whatever they want to use it for, or if you just want a 10th holiday, you have skip the day of service and use PTO instead. Their annual review process was ridiculous when I left in 2017. It was changed to be more peer review, but if you're not on a project with any other Accenture people it can be tough. Especially when you're bounced around to different projects without having enough time to learn the project well enough to really contribute. They try to force you into mentoring people as "Career Counselors", regardless of whether it makes sense for you to be one or not. I barely had any sort of relationship with my "Career Counselor" and could email him without even getting a response, so I had no idea what was even really expected of it. I'm sure there are other things that I'm not remembering at the moment, but this was an incredibly frustrating company for me.

Pros

None to speak of at all

Cons

The absolute worst teamwork I have ever seen. It’s every billable resource for themselves. Crazy margins and bad attitudes. You wouldn’t want one of these people at your house much less on your projects. Petty and vindictive people. No sales talent. Do not believe their hype.

Pros

- Only salary will be on time nothing else. No good work at all , even project managers are here confused how to utilize resource and busy in putting oil to their manager to keep their job safe. -They hire for particular project if that project not worked then they will ask to work which area you won't be dream even in bad days.

Cons

Accenture hire and fire policy is truth. It's a worst company I ever worked in my career. Better to join TCS, Cognizant, Infosys or even Wipro or HCL. Please don't join Accenture ever else you will be regretted.
