Pros

It takes working for the insane to recognize and appreciate sanity. Post-Accenture I make 30% more in salary, have a life with my family where I don’t feel tortured/maligned for wanting my weekends off to spend time with them, and I have time to pursue an MS that fits my goals and off-work projects. The Pros of Accenture is learning how to hate people who have been given positions due to nepotism and dogmatic assimilation to that status quo. I respect the doers, the slaves, and the serfs that are forced to work for a company like this. I feel for the workers, and condemn companies like Accenture that exploits their work ethic and gas lights them into not accepting living wages, pensions, or equitable opportunities for the average employee. Accenture is the future and it represents hell for anyone who doesn’t have a mommy or daddy as a senior manager in corporate America. To quote a song that mattered once, “I ain’t no fortunate son”

Cons

It’s a great place to work - sort of like if you enjoy rats eating at your toes for years on end.

Pros

The odd free snack, not enough for a pro.

Cons

Management is horrendous, people are tremendously underqualified for their jobs and it's hard to communicate with colleagues because of their level of English.

Pros

You learn a lot quickly and it looks good on your resume.

Cons

I was with the company five years in the Cincinnati office. In that time I saw and witnessed some of the most unethical business practices and borderline malicious abuse that I have ever experienced in my entire career. 1. We were told to lie on our billable hours to the clients we supported. (Aka fraud). The clients of course didn't know this was happening. Management routinely made up hour "billable hours" and told us to charge hours to clients even if we didn't work them. Highly illegal. 2. The culture of toxicity and abuse was absolutely insane. You name it I've seen it. Managers holding their employees from career advancement out of pure ignorant and vindictive spite. Managers insulting employees in calls with 20+ people in attendance. I've seen people of power here back stab, call others people racists, insult other techs skill sets, threaten, lie, and manipulate. Ive seen managers throw temper tantrums and scream and yell at employees or insult them. Gaslighting here was an every day occurance. Promise promotions yet deny them end of year. Some people make 20-30k more than others when they do the same EXACT job as everyone else simply because management likes them more. Ive seen people who literally do NOTHING but wiggle their mouse around all day to not show as "away" get promotions and make 110k+ a year when they literally contribute nothing. Managers invoke fear tactics. Scare you into not billing for overtime. Make you feel guilty when you do bill overtime. They bred a hostile work environment that bled into all the tech teams. Very few employees are happy here. All time low morale. Internal teams constantly bad mouthing others, fighting, and arguing in team chat cussing out other employees and getting into scuffles. The entire place was a cess pool of poorly managed teams, bad leadership, toxic ethics. Zero standards. I saw five people quit in a time span of a year because of everything I just mentioned. This is not a disgruntled employee ranting. This is the FACTS and the TRUTH. This place is a nightmare. The best word I could use to summarize it all up is "disgusting". I felt literally disgusting working there. Everyday was a challenge. This place will rip out your soul and eat it and then ask for seconds. This place is consulting 101 but it's being ran by borderline crooks and horrible human beings with no ethics, morale compass, or humanity. You will be told to work 24.7 on call for a week. Then when you get paged off hours you're expected to work...but for free. If you bill overtime you will be questioned, scrutinized, and made to be fearful of actually billing it. This place is a employment lawyers dream. A lawsuit waiting to happen. I thought about hiring one myself but I wanted to just put the place behind me and move on. That doesn't however mean that I have to keep silent about what went on. This review represents that. Best thing I can do is warn people not to work here. If you are looking into the Cincinnati location then....Run. Run as FAST as you can.
