Accenture Reviews in Australia

Pros

Variety of quality projects
Good brand
Bright colleagues
Equal opportunity for promotion

Cons

Some inexperienced staff being promoted as manager, some loves to micro-manage staff
Feels like a virtual organisation, very fluid organisation structure.
One must follow (i.e. travel) where the work is available.

Advice to Senior Management

More leadership training is required for managers and above

Pros

When joining straight out of University you can learn a lot and the knowledge data base is really big, when having good access and support from someone who is with Accenture for many years, you can develop yourself really good. If you want IT consulting, you should go to Accenture

Cons

Company too big, no personal touch, everything is organized by systems and need to sort it out yourself, how this works, people just after personal gain. Big differences between the different offices. Is also very hierarchical

Advice to Senior Management

Take more care of your people and don't focus too much on growth, listen to what people have to say; people who are lower in the hierarchy (or who come from outside the organization as experience hires) could have good idea or even better, because they have a fresh view on things

Pros

- The A list clientele and cutting edge work provides lots of learning opportunities for those curious about how the world works.
- good grounding for consultants looking to build strong business fundamentals and executive communication skills.
- excellent work colleagues who share a sense of pride in the work we do.

Cons

- long hours can take a toll on those seeking work life balance.
- lifestyle can vary drastically depending on project scope, timeline, resourcing

Advice to Senior Management

Please continue to invest in building the core skills of consultants. Please continue to improve remuneration in recognition of the hard yards consultants put in.

Pros

-People: Everyone works cooperatively and shares the workload. Everyone is also lots of fun in and out of the office. To me, this is the BEST thing about accenture.

-Structure: every department knows exactly what they need to do. Boundaries are well defined

-Community events: every few months there is something going like fancy functions, dinners with executives, team building workshops

Cons

-work content- as a technology analyst, if you're not into IT it can be a downer to work.
