Business Outlook
Pros
Flexible work schedules and a culture that supports work-life balance. The internal organization in particular has well-established work-at-home and flex time programs. The culture also promotes unselfish sharing of information and past lessons-learned. Support for on-going training is good, though it has been curtailed noticeably in the last few years.
Cons
Internal organization gets bogged down by its own size and dispersed management clusters. Getting approval to implement new/creative ideas is a great chore that involves layers and layers of approvals. Probably not unique to Accenture, but for sure, Accenture is not immune to this big company downside. Support for continuing education (e.g. advanced degrees) is minimal.
