Vantaggi
Accenture's enormous range of expertise and breadth of services is one of my favorite things about the firm. Consultants have the opportunity to work in almost any industry and impact nearly every aspect of business, from corporate strategy and digital strategy to operations, change management, and leadership development. I'm always learning something new because Accenture encourages its people to be entrepreneurial; consultants all over the planet are constantly pushing the boundaries of business services in areas in which they have a unique interest or passion. It's fun to work for a firm that enables me to go to a client to help them totally rethink a problem and then say "look what we can do next" and take them through the solution to change their business.
Svantaggi
Our Management Consulting practice is one of the largest in the world, and we strive to expand our footprint every day, but it's not always easy to find projects in one's area of interest. The double-edged sword of being an entrepreneurial place where you can create your own destiny is that you often really do have to create your own path in order to have an enjoyable career here. We excel at a number of things, specifically operations and change management, but it can feel like Strategy gets the short end of the stick at times. Hopefully that's changing given our new focus on Accenture Strategy as a key part of the business.
