Great professional experience! Performance evaluation model is very subjective. Compensation is shameful. - Consultant Analyst Accenture Employee Review

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.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
