Pros

Twice a year company organize parties

Cons

- When I applied for work in Accenture Latvia, they helped with relocation package. But in contract they say that if I was going to quit Accenture within a year, I have to return the money spent on the relocation up to ..... At first my thoughts was they will count the real costs and tell me how much money they spent on relocation, but it wasn’t. They told me that I have to return the maximum amount that is written in the contract, and there are no discussions about it. At the moment when I was leaving the company they changed the contract for the new joiners, that now they will have to wait for 2 years until they can leave without paying back the relocation package. - Promotion is very low. They created some trainings, and some of them are not related to my job , but are mandatory to finish in order to get promotion according to the policy. But in reality they give promotions to their friends, and mark for them on their side that training was done. At the time when I said I am leaving the company, they offered me promotion, even though I didn’t finish the trainings. - Quality of products are very low. There was a lot of colleagues that would have a hier level like 9 (Lead position), but at work they would have much lower knowledge than some of the middle level. It seems that managers are fine with it, as soon as they were able to push him to the client. Same is for middle level, managers are happy as soon as client doesn’t complain, and they may forget about you. - Salaries are bellow the market

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
