I have been working at Accenture full-time for more than a year
Pros
* Brand value, job security.
* Plenty of projects for any named skill, facilitating technical growth.
* Decent budget for fun activities, team outings etc.
Cons
* No option to choose the primary skill for freshers.
* Lack of flexibility with respect to shift timings, job location.
* Appraisal ratings depends more on impression on supervisor, months at level, budget etc rather on the actual performance, which is one of the last criteria considered.
* Lack of onsite opportunities.
Advice to Management
* Give more weightage to employee performance.
* Give credible reasons for the rating given to employee, don't cook up random policies to explain.
I have been working at Accenture full-time for more than a year
Pros
Everyone is very helpful and open
Very inclusive and diverse company
Lot of opportunity
Cons
Your job may involve a lot of travel. Usual travel is you leave on a Sunday night and come back on a Thursday night. And that can be every week depending on what you are working on.
High expectation
Billable focused. It is a consulting firm so for every hour you don't bill the client, they lose money
Advice to Management
Manage travel expectations with clients better. It will be great if we can travel every other week.
