Accenture Reviews

Pros

Working with Best People. They will provide ample time for Knowledge Transistion

Cons

You need a good sponsor to get promoted

Pros

Their brand name and policies

Cons

If you can be your manager’s and career counsellor’s pet you would get promoted and be successful. If you cannot don’t even think about it. In fact this is the only firm where I have seen an MD working like a PA to another SMD. And I am not joking mate. And aah client management is excellent - they will win a big project, fill them with MDs and SMs and when the project cannot be delivered, get contractors and either get...

Advice to Management

Stop faking yourselves about how great an environment that is to work. You are nothing but a lying hierarchical company with no ethics or principles. Admit it and you still can fix it. I am sure this wasn’t this bad when it initially started.

Pros

Good training opportunities, nice office, good support staff (helpdesk, IT, BSC etc.,)

Cons

Culture of bullying, Horrible people like Newan Tsang are given trusted management positions and all complaints against him go unnoticed, senior leadership only concerned about their incoming revenues, long working hours, no work-life balance

Advice to Management

Take action on employee's feedback. Remove people like Newan Tsang. Accenture Australia has a lot of ground to cover and compared to Accenture US or Accenture India where brand Accenture has a lot of value and respect

Pros

Excellent people. Rewards career progression.

Cons

Can be hard to upskill. Hard to specialise in technical skillsets unless offshore based

Pros

Opportunity to travel globally for project work and many varied projects. Majority of colleagues are highly competent.

Cons

Crazy workloads and working hours with very unrealistic expectations - especially on non-client work.

Advice to Management

Stop promoting A to C in ridiculously short time frames - you are setting up a recipe for disaster.

Pros

Very Good to work with

Cons

Nothing bad for me at all

Pros

Global reach, large clients and great diversity and support for equality

Cons

Lost in a large organisation, have to work for your client 9-5 M-F and then give overtime to Accenture without pay

Pros

Great internal culture - lots of support in doing additional non-client work, charity work, etc. Upper management is always keen to connect and listen. Lots of support in the grad program. Accenture throws you into the deep when starting at a client site, which is great for people who excel in that type of environment. Great industry/market reputation - will really help when moving on from the company.

Cons

Salary is below market equivalent - the company relies on people not understanding their industry worth (part of the reason I left was when I realised the more interesting work and better compensation I would receive elsewhere). Whilst upper management is great, middle management (located at client site) is poor at connecting and is full of egos. Training in H&PS is incredibly limited and is given to management...

Advice to Management

Provide more training opportunities for analysts - these people are thirsty to learn and want to expand their skills. Make an effort at actioning the complaints and ideas people raise as there is a lot of talk, but little is done to improve bad company experiences.
