Pros

Some projects allow you to work remote on Friday Looks good on a resume You can get a lot of experience in a fairly short time

Cons

If you have a bad manager, no one cares. Hostile workplace? No way to report it. Promotions are completely dependent on "feedback" that managers put into an online tool. Managers are supposed to submit feedback for every person on their team, but nothing happens if they don't and you can't do anything about it. They were also really sketchy while hiring me. They told me I had the job, and that my offer letter would be to me in a few weeks. They kept telling me that it would be sent in two weeks. Then one more month. Then it'd be to me by January. Meanwhile this whole time they're telling me that I would be able to stay in Washington, DC.. Pretty soon I had been waiting for several months and I thought there's no way it could be much longer. I should have gone somewhere else. 8 Months after they told me I "had the job" they finally sent me a list of office options. Of course, none of them were my home where they assured me I would be able to stay. I picked an office 3 hours away from my husband because that was the closest, and they said there weren't any open jobs in Washington, DC. Of course after I joined I found out that they had, in fact, hired new people to start in the Washington, DC area. They also didn't have to wait a year to actually start. Oh, by the way: I'm disabled. Legally I'm supposed to get reasonable accommodations. However, since my disability isn't easy to see (wheelchair, blind, etc) my requests go nowhere. I've been told several times that I would be able to telework once a week so I could have a day to schedule and attend appointments. However, I've never been able to do it without management acting like it was a huge inconvenience or like I just wasn't reliable... even though I get everything done and submitted on time.

Pros

POSSIBILITY of working from home on certains days for certain projects if your manager isn’t a snitch. I’m currently on a project where we have not done a thing for about 2 weeks now. Client is paying Accenture big money for me to do nothing. I sit in the office 8-5 super bored but we can’t work from home because we have to make it look like we’re actually doing something for the client. One of the cons of being on client site

Cons

Low pay Meaningless assignments Unfair promotion practices To those saying this is a good company to join as a new grad, you all are very wrong. I joined as a software engineering associate expecting to learn to code. But nope! All the coding is outsourced to India. Meanwhile I have been spending all my time here at Accenture looking at documentation, doing ridiculously easy testing, and I was even put on to an application support team. My resume looks very weak right now because I have not been able to do anything I wanted to do here at Accenture. I should have a solid coding background by now but I don’t. Managers sit back and do NOTHING while the associates and analysts do ALL the work. I don’t know why anyone pays Accenture to do these silly tasks. I’m a computer science grad doing application support, something a 6 year old can do. No wonder people leave this company at a super high rate.
