      Good Place to Work - Needs more Experienced Workers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My direct mgmt communicates openly and well. Flex hours, teleworking, autonomy. Retiree healthcare still in place. Good projects and a chance to "show your stuff" if you are inclined to go there. Good people with good intentions and potential but limited support due to "old" Andersen mentality.

      Cons

      Poor 401K match especially with no traditional retirement package. Too long from hire date to eligibility for 401K match...12 to 18 months!!! Very poor severance plan for Services sector. Healthcare plan in USA needs some work. Copays are too high. Service from providers not at optimum. Prescription drug plan flawed. PTO plan encourages people to work sick and come back to work too soon from surgeries. Too few holidays in the USA. Off the norm by 3 days or more. Need salary increases to keep pace with healthcare premium cost increases at least. Managers need more input to salary and bonus amounts....all dictated by HR. Need more experienced hires if company is to progress....too many new grads just don't know how to get the job done.

      Accenture is a good place to work

      Pros

      Accenture provides very good compensation and benefits. It helps to be on a project away from your home location to make the most of their compensation. Also, they provide good stock options for its employees and good 401K reimbursement. For the most part they have good client relationships and work hard to maintain these relationships. I'm proud to work for Accenture and it seems that they have an excellent reputation compared to most consulting firms. You are expected to work a LOT of hours, however I feel that they have drastically changed my work ethic for the better and have allowed me opportunity for growth.

      Cons

      Accentures worklife balance is not exactly stellar. There have been many times that employees have asked for vacation only to have their requested days denied. I for one, have had to work numerous holidays in order to get things done for the client. Another major downfall for Accenture is that they sometimes have hostile relationships with their clients. Often times clients resent the fact that there are consultants on their projects helping them and they receive a lot of pushback. Also, it can be difficult to maintain any type of relationship while on a project as you are expected to work a minimum of 10 to 12 hours a day.

      Pros

      This company has lots of real estate (pun intended) to allow a self motivated person to learn, grow and move around the organization. I would whole heartedly recommend Accenture for a new college graduate, technical person in developing country or technology / business professional whom has stalled in their career and needs some fresh wind/challenge. Overall Accenture is a great technology company that will provide a spring board and wealth of professional contacts as you grow, rebuild and reposition your career.

      Cons

      Accenture is investing heavily in low cost and developing IT areas for call centers and backend support. The financial incentives for experienced technology workers in the US are not what they used to be. Albeit there's still opportunity but its harder to get at. I guess this could be an indicator to the saturatng need for IT services and outsourcing in the American markets and Accenture's already large size.
