Pros

Access to top clients, industry leaders. Premium international classroom trainings and large training budget.

Cons

Personality and sould killer environment. After a couple of years of Accenture background consultants become cynical, exhausted robots. You see victims of the system or unnecessarily inhumane, cruel "winners" of the Accenture roleplay. Terribly bureaucratic, badly organized and technically obsolete corporate support functons and tools. Salaries are nowhere compared to the invested working time and stress. It's a scam, an illusion that you are becoming part of something grandiose. The truth is you lose sense of what a fulfilling work is like and you adjust to the ratrace you see around you.

Pros

Every day the team do at least 1 or 2 hours of unpaid overtime, but considering that we are operating in a consulting firm it is normal. - My good performance was recognized and appreciated by the management, but this didn't result in anything - Big firm with several industries, there is the possibility to ask the HR to change the market in which you want to work - The only good part of my 6 months internship has been the working environment. All the different teams (4 in six months!) in which I worked were very harmonious and the colleagues were composed of pleasant people.

Cons

The team in which I was hired got dismissed after 2 weeks because the client did not require anymore Accenture services and after that, I traveled across different teams helping the different consultants and analysts to deal with workload peaks. I didn't learn ANYTHING new that I didn't know from my university. I was asked to do only boring, but a necessary back office. - Zero exposition with middle management or any senior Accenture profiles - I asked to be positioned in a specific position to the HR, they told me that my profile was perfect but that at the moment there wasn't any opening position. They told me to wait, but at the end of my experience still there are no opening positions, despite they told me to just endure and wait. - I was hired in the consulting practice because at the moment there was not any opening in strategy. They told me to wait that the situation will improve. I got moved from consulting to operation because there was a peak of workload. At the beginning, they told me to endure, but the situation didn't change because I was performing well and I become a necessary part of the operation team. - Poor communication between the management. We received different and conflicting instructions depending on the manager. Junior positions were exposed to the client's management that required us to do extra back office work, yet there wasn't an Accenture manager which was able to enforce the contract and set clear boundaries of our tasks. - Qualified personnel used to do boring, repetitive and no added value tasks.
