Accenture reviews

Accenture is a great place to learn. You work with other really bright people who usually are highly motivated and have wonderful world experiences that they bring with them. When working for Accenture, the mentality is "work-hard, play-hard" and I think that has reigned entirely true in my nearly four years of experience with the company. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. Another good reason to work for Accenture is that they are a reputable organization. The company is growing and posting solid numbers in a difficult economy which is unusual given the fact that consulting companies tend to do poorly in tougher economic times. I give credit to an excellent senior management team which filters through the ranks throughout Accenture.

If you are kind of person loving to do whatever you like and you have your own opinion and your way of handling things Than this is the right company for you. Being employed at Accenture is kind of similar to being self-employed. You go from project to project and fight your way trough that. This is actually also a CON for some people and it has much to do with other CONs which can be told about Accenture. You have to care about your self and you shouldn’t rely on others that they will come to ask you how you are doing. If there is something wrong you have all the power and procedures to fix it. But it’s up to you. I experienced lot of trouble at Accenture, but I was able to fix almost all of them just by utilizing standard ACN procedures or asking the right people the right questions. Same as being self-employed, you got a relatively high time flexibility and you are free to refuse projects or jobs you don’t like. You just have to have better reasoning than your boss. If you don’t, than you are a looser. If you know this, than it is a great company to work for as you are free to think, handle and perform. There is lot of great people, positive, ready to help you. If you know how to sell the results of your job to the client and the management, you also get great recognition and feedbacks. If you just sit there waiting for somebody noticing you working hard, bad luck.
