Ayn Rand - Eat your heart out

Pros

Within my first three years I've been promoted twice, +50% hourly wage, travel weekly halfway across the US delivering great solutions in a niche industry, potential job security for decades, competitive salary and great benefits. I've worked in Oil & Gas, Aerospace & Defense, I now have a rolodex of engineers and developers from this job alone.

Cons

I got lucky, almost none of my coworkers hired alongside me are even still working here, and those that are aren't doing what they want. And that's not meant as a brag, there's no special sauce that kept me afloat in chargeability, I was simply selected for some internal job and bounced up from there. Take the "Pro" section as the potential here, not the standard. Accenture demands your networking skills, your weekend hours, and part of your sanity. Your hours will be spent putting out manager's fires, you will hear "well, it has to be done by Monday" Friday at 4PM a lot. Your resume will sparkle but it will bleed you dry. Use it for networking and hope you find a nice project.

Pros

Since it was acquired by Accenture, it helps when you move jobs. Good pay and benefits due to the acquisition by Accenture.

Cons

Top management runs the place like it's their grandmother's company with total disregard to the policies put in place by Accenture. Still practice their old style of management pre acquisition. Disrespectful behaviour by senior management that put themselves at risk of legal action. Management are made up of old buddies and also a pair of husband and wife therefore they tend to look out for each other and cover up their mistakes. High attrition rate due to total disregard to work life balance and bad practices.

Pros

- Mature processes in delivering projects and resources to clients. - Lots of professional development possibilities especially while on bench. - Learned some wisdom whilst in Accenture School (i.e. St. Charles, Heathrow, KL). - Internally it has great library of knowledge base & assets. - Militaristic command hierarchy.

Cons

- Militaristic command hierarchy - Some training sessions includes brainwashing and indoctrination. - 85% of our new experienced hire orientation class have left Accenture within 2 years (which indicates a very peculiar staff hiring and retention strategy) - Career progression is designed to benefit "Accenture Babies" (i.e. employees who's been with the firm since fresh grads). - Strange and unique "culture" (see bigtimeconsulting.org to understand culture). - In order to gain rapport or possibly a promotion, the culture demands unwavering loyalty to your superiors and a lot of time & perseverance at work (whilst not necessarily being productive). - In IT client projects the majority of work are brainless, and these generally fall under two categories: 1.) data collection, and 2.) chasing people for task completion. Accenture can only sell low-skilled workforce & roles to clients who doesn't want to do themselves such as Testers, PM (Project Officers really), and Architects (not really Architects, as they typically love to copy-paste client designs).
