Pros

Starting salaries are current with industry and locale

Cons

Stunted innovation due to legacy technology. Some areas within the business are not as competitive as others but competition does occur depending on the department. Direction from upper management is not always based on knowledge inasmuch as it is more goal oriented and focused on short-range planning. Many very small decisions require the collaboration of several individuals which therefore requires an inordinate amount of meetings and discussions. The company is well known for the practice of hiring over-qualified people for lower-level positions which contributes to a general sense of dissatisfaction within the ranks.

Pros

My teammates are great. I like all of them as individuals and theyre very collaborative and supportive. The pay is good and the benefors are decent. The DEI initiatives are great.

Cons

The management on my team is atrocious. This place is a great example of just moving high performers into management without caring that many of them have no business managing people. It can be very cliquey, and managers care infinitely more about raising their own profiles than on managing and developing people. The internal transfer process is a joke because of certain managers, and it’s insulting when they use corporate buzzwords and when try to disguise their incessant micromanaging. They need to learn how to actually manage people, and to listen to hear rather than listen to respond.

Pros

> Average salary hike as per industrial standards > good food > good benefits (insurance , food , cab , internet allowance , mobile bill allowance) > supportive team

Cons

> Management decisions kept hidden from other employees. there was a split happened in company and sudden move from Victoria's secret to Accenture. Employees were forcefully pushed to join Accenture > some people from business are quite noisy but that is manageable because some are very much understanding > the structure is flat and no frequent promotions, you need to wait for min 4 years to get the promotion > no onsite opportunities post covid
