Vantaggi
My immediate coworkers and client contacts were generally great to work with, and Accenture is pretty hands-off when you're working on-site for a client.
Svantaggi
Corporate is a clown show. At the end of FY23, Accenture announced that everyone below executive-level would be ineligible for annual raises, would receive "significantly lower" bonuses (if any), and that promotions were frozen until Q3 '24. Why? Well... Accenture saw 8% revenue growth in FY23, after an initial growth target of 8-11%. In CEO Julie Sweet's words, this was "lower than we had planned". If my math is correct, 8% falls within the range of 8-11%. Corporate rug-pulls are hardly uncommon in the US, but Accenture leadership's behavior of nakedly driving attrition so that they can exploit a competitive job market and re-hire at lower rates is especially shady. Source: They were explicitly doing this on my project up until we all got laid off (because moving operations overseas is even cheaper). On a secondary note, career growth in Accenture Operations is limited to a specific racial, gender, and age demographic overlap; as evidenced by its monocultural upper management. Some of them are great, but their nepotism-hires only show up once per quarter to ask us to do their homework for them. On a tertiary note, Accenture's timecard website is some of the worst UX I've ever seen in my entire life. Like, wow.
