Pros

Benefits are good. Salary is competitive, but that seems to vary by position and manager.

Cons

My manager was promoted and while she knows the job she doesn’t manage. We are a 3 person team and from where I am sitting, she allows my co-worker to co-manage. My co-worker wants to change processes that directly impact my job and she is allowed to do so, without any input from me. I have said repeatedly that I need more work but it’s not given to me. I’m supposed to be working towards a promotion but I am not being trained properly, or at all, for that matter.

Pros

Learning opportunities galore - movement from one role to the next building upon the prior skillsets or differentiating into other areas based on business need and skill interest. AFS provides great flexibility in working, though it depends on the client and specific project. There is a lot of coaching at the midlevel and associate manager levels for consultants and analysts to grow team skills. Mentorship is emphasized and team collaboration is a major focus. There are always tons of different community of practices depending on what interests you as an employee, as well as a plethora of opportunities to connect with leaders in different portfolios and company segments. Reachback to the greater Accenture (commercial practice) is easy once you network with sufficient folks and understand how to navigate leadership channels.

Cons

*Rewards are lower than other consulting firms *Long hours if you want to be recognized and differentiated *Projects can start and stop based on funding *Senior Managers have difficulty performing at the MD level as well as grooming others and delivering for their clients *Executive leadership changes are not that great. The people who you may have grown up seeing at mid-leaders are now executive leaders, and there are some very toxic personalities among executive leadership. *RSU stocks vest every quarter, which means your stock grants aren't very useful if you need cashflow...i.e. those with young children, paying a lot for nannies and daycare, mortgage in the DC area, etc. *Very process driven and bureaucratic...processes can halt any progress and be extremely administratively burdensome *Large size limits agility *Constant organizational change *CEO overall at Accenture is newer to the role, so will need to grow into the position to be very successful.
