Vantaggi

Svantaggi
- Militaristic command hierarchy - Some training sessions includes brainwashing and indoctrination. - 85% of our new experienced hire orientation class have left Accenture within 2 years (which indicates a very peculiar staff hiring and retention strategy) - Career progression is designed to benefit "Accenture Babies" (i.e. employees who's been with the firm since fresh grads). - Strange and unique "culture" (see bigtimeconsulting.org to understand culture). - In order to gain rapport or possibly a promotion, the culture demands unwavering loyalty to your superiors and a lot of time & perseverance at work (whilst not necessarily being productive). - In IT client projects the majority of work are brainless, and these generally fall under two categories: 1.) data collection, and 2.) chasing people for task completion. Accenture can only sell low-skilled workforce & roles to clients who doesn't want to do themselves such as Testers, PM (Project Officers really), and Architects (not really Architects, as they typically love to copy-paste client designs).
