Pros
- Opportunities to work abroad - Ability to work from home in IT certain projects
Cons
The company treats its' engineers as resources for lease rather than talents or creative individuals. As a result, people are exposed to wired desires and changes of mood of a bad client. In conflict situations with a customer, no protection is granted by the company to an engineer under pressure. The company is interested only in the profit per each leased employee. Mid-management positions in IT projects, such as PM and PMO, are often taken by mediocre and toxic people with no IT education or relevant experience in the field. Those guys usually have little chances to find a good job elsewhere, hence they do everything possible to get promoted within the corporation. Their zeal and blind adherence to bureaucratic instructions create an environment hard to work in. To boot, the company is saving on everything: salaries, bonuses, hardware, software licences, office chairs... Some people say, that Accenture is a good place for a newbie to start an IT career. Maybe, some will survive. But underpaid work for 6 months may well end up in stress and loss of motivation.
