Accenture – “Meh. Nice for a couple of years.”

Pros

Nice perks. Interesting work if you can get on nice projects. QCenter is A-OK. Extensive knowledge network; you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Cons

Politics! Up or out model is a sham, and it's gutting the company of fine people. The performance review process is rigged and subjective. It's who you know, not what you do. It does not take into consideration good results.

Advice to Senior Management

The up or out model is depriving the firm of very good people, that want to deliver results to clients. Not all consultants are interested in being managers, some are interested in building their skills and delivering results. HR is useless. The 'network-buddy' system has to go.
