Accenture reviews

Strategy work non-existent. Leadership only interested in meeting Wall Street's numbers, managing directors and sr. manager's interested only in selling and getting ahead, lip service to building a good culture and caring about people, internal processes that just don't work (ironic that to get anything fixed by internal IT is a massive investment in time with offshore folks - it's like being at the DMV), unethical behavior frequently observed. For those joining the firm with a MBA like I did, don't believe anything they promise you. Very little turns out to be true.

The biggest con (and the reason I left) is that I worked hard for over a year and got a twenty-nine cent (per hour) raise. When you work at a company that appreciates you and your work, they compensate you fairly. At Accenture, it all began when I got promoted without pay, just more responsibilities. About six months later, I learned that new hires were making two dollars more per hour than I was. I asked my supervisors about this and they said not to worry, because we would all get our raises at the end of the year. Not only was I a top performer on the floor, I was a junior lead of a small team handling sensitive cases for our biggest spending clients. We helped a lot of advertisers, and cured a lot of headaches. Christmastime came around and we got our raises: mine was $600/year, translating to $0.29/hour, which was still $1.71/hour less than new hires that knew nothing about the job—where I had been promoted to additional responsibilities the year prior. Then I went and googled our net income for 2016, it was $4.35 billion. I started the job search that night.
