Pros
- There are some great people who truly are great and hard working and mean well - Looks great on CV and can learn a lot of experience from a range of different clients - It is a good industry to be working with and you will get some valid experience
Cons
- My experience working in consulting is that your learning and development really does not matter. In the 3-4 years I have been at Accenture, they have barely invested in any sort of training and I feel like, technically speaking, I have not progressed much - You are just a number. I found my experience at Accenture quite isolating. People tend to be focussed on their selves and their progression, you are essentially head to head with others. I found that when it comes down to it, people will not care about you and there is no sense of belonging or community - Way over the top with all this inclusion & diversity and things like that. They like to see you involved or you will find it difficult to achieve promotion - I have never gotten a bonus and quite unsure as to why - They seem to love to hire rapidly and then undertake lay-offs, so I really question the job security - Bench time is important even if they say it is not
