Accenture Reviews in Brazil

Pros

Great place to start and great place to finish your carrer
Very competent and skilled people
A lot of trainings available, most of them free

Cons

Very low payment, very far from market
Low recognition
Very dependant promotion, you depend on your Mentor, your Leader, your Manager and if there's an opportunity.

Advice to Senior Management

More recognition, more satisfaction. More satisfaction, more happiness. More happiness, better work. Better work, more money for the company. It's a cycle, and it works.

Pros

It is a great professional experience.
There is a lot of client facing.
It is very common to perform a role above your position (i.e. Analysts to play Consultant roles, Consultants to play Manager roles, and so on)

Cons

Compensation is unfair. It is almost half of market average.
Over hours are demanded every day but they are not paid.
It is almost impossible to have a feed back from your manager. Though a process is in place, leadership just refuses to do it unless HR formally requires so.
The evaluation process is very subjective. Though you are evaluated against the objectives you set with your manager, other leaders that never worked with you can influence your final grade. So, during the meeting when the grades are set, the mentors that shout the most obtain the better grade for the mentored, and your real performance is almost not taken in account.

Advice to Senior Management

Provide feedback more often.
Make the evaluation process more transparent and less partial.
Make compensations at least competitive with market average. (Today meal tickets pay's less then a Whooper per day)

Pros

Good company given the opportunities
Way too often changes will bore even the most talented ones.

Cons

Weak brand
Projects can vary too much, from international assignments to complete ordinary craps and no recognition.

Advice to Senior Management

If you were good enough you wouldn't be selling yourselves to your employee every day.
