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.

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.
