Pros
Worked in Accenture for 6 years. - Had a slow but steady professional growth until 2022. - Learned a lot about the corporate world and, as a designer, about corporate identity. - Had the chance to meet and collaborate with so many amazing people from around the world. The people really made the company. - Learned a lot about good leadership from a few compassionate and caring managers. - Flexibility - Social events and events used to be great fun before 2020.
Cons
- Treated as a mere number and was laid off right after having a very successful year, - Lots of admin throughout the year. - Learned a lot about bad leadership from uncaring and detached managers. - Very slow promotions, almost absent pay raise, lower salaries compared to other companies. From 2022 onward, events and social engagement were almost absent. No team building activities, zero team spirit. Managers lost and were unable to explain what was happening. Culture went down uncontrollably leaving so many people afraid of losing their jobs. The company started following tech trends way too closely in the last few years, with a seriously dehumanizing approach toward the workforce. Unclear messaging around redundancies and, a complete lack of human touch in communicating. After giving this company so much of my time and effort, the ending was a very bittersweet blow.
