Accenture Reviews in Atlanta, GA Area

Pros

Wonderful place to work, great people, all about worklife balance.

Cons

The salary of HR doesn't match the industry's HR salary.

Pros

5 weeks of PTO. 5 weeks of PTO. 1 floating holiday. I've personally never been harassed sexually by a non-foreign employee, which I suppose is a pro. Genearlly an alcoholic-friendly work environment.

Cons

The quality of employee is pretty low and seems to be getting worse, but if you like feeling smart and like you may not be THAT much of a slacker, could be a pro. The politics are terrible. You wont get promoted unless you suck up, are a great pretender, and stay in.the same sh*t role for over a year. Career counselors don't give a crap about you, and good luck meeting them in person (they'd rather use their CC budget on themselves). They keep cutting HR to the point now where you likely never meet your dedicated HR rep (250+ resources per rep, whose only concern is getting you on ANY sh*t project, regardless of your career, because its their only KPI).

Advice to Senior Management

Attend events. Stop telling employees to ghost hours. Don't walk away briskly when approached. Be honest with counselees. Roll-on lunches should be a must.

Pros

Accenture is a great starter company fresh out of college because you get a lot of exposure to different positions, companies and industries. The different people that you meet at the company are great to work with because they really help you grow your career.

Cons

The company has become to big which leads to less employees being moved up the ladder for promotions. In the consultanting workforce, the track to make it to manager used to be 4-6 years. Now it's turning more into 7-8 years to make manager and the compensation isn't competitive enough to entice people to stay that the company that long.

Pros

The name Accenture is very highly recognized, so finding a job after working here shouldn't be too difficult

If you're lucky, you get on a project in a field that is at least somewhat relevant to your particular interest. If not, you're pretty much stuck. Very difficult to switch operating groups.
