Pros

Accenture has a global work force and it shows. I personally like working in such an environment. People are kind and helpful, although some are caught up in competition trying to get a differential advantage over others rather than working together.

The corporation itself is, at least honest about why it exists: money, profit. This is evident in all policies and rating systems. Of course they try and make you believe that there is some other motive using propaganda. however, most people see through this and share that view with you. That being said Accenture does provide opportunities to help internationally with various aid organizations and programs where you can, at a reduced pay, go and help in less fortunate countries if you want.

Cons

Red tape is something you will have to learn to live with. There is tonnes of that. You may also feel that you can never make decisions or call the ball as this is reserved, in any practical sense, for all with the title of Senior Executive.

the rating and review system is built around the belief that money is the motivator for all to work harder. Although money is important, this is and should not be the reason you do what you do. Also all performance is curved, comparing you to your peers. This means that you may often be subject to bias and the luck of the draw since you can not always pick and choose what project you are assigned to. The performance system works best if you are on a project with many other Accenture consultants at your level so that you can be compared.

Advice to Senior Management

Please measure performance against goals and benchmarks instead of relative to peers as this would be more relevant and fair.

Please consider relevant scientific studies when designing work environment and motivators.

To senior management: please find a better reason for being that profit. People buy what you believe, not what you do.
