Avis sur Accenture

Avantages

In this company, you got a lot of opportunities. If you like travelling. You are at the good place. The salary is pretty good too. You reach the level if you have patience.

Inconvénients

It's too much corporate. Even your manager sell the company as you was a client. It's not very friendly too. They want you to involve in event in order to show that Accenture is a very good place to work. Too much fake.

Conseils à la direction

Stop recruiting manager who do know how to coach and create a symbiose.

Avantages

Company is quick to evolve Consultants are no longer laddered The work can be really cool depending on the practice and location

Inconvénients

A lot of random extra busy work Middle manager quality varies, many "age into" their roles and aren't good at managing projects

Conseils à la direction

Get away from building slides, there is a ton of waste because consultants only know how to communicate through decks Consider and act on culture issues - 360 feedback was removed from the process and as a result managers are acting blindly unless analysts and consultants make their feedback known

Avantages

Smart people, lots of opportunities for the proactive

Inconvénients

Need to get to terms with size and scale of Accenture and the possibilities

Avantages

Great and smart people with lots of room to grow and advance.

Inconvénients

Relatively bad work life balance but pretty common in the industry.

Avantages

Opportunities to work on some of the exciting and cool projects. Distributed teams, great people, commitment to the client and the quality of the final deliverables.

Inconvénients

Some of the hours' expectations can get big, especially when faced with deadlines and important milestones. Some positions require traveling which might be a challenge to people. Distributed teams quite often mean working closely with offshore resources in crazy hours (super early in the morning or super late in the evening).

Conseils à la direction

Help people with finding their next opportunity (within the company) instead of letting them to (hopefully) complete this step on their own.

Avantages

Great Toronto office - open, fun, energetic. Great colleagues

Inconvénients

HR are running a campaign to improve the Glassdoor reviews as nobody wants to work here anymore. Everyone's leaving and going across the street to Deloitte. You will be worked to death at Accenture - the culture is horrid - no work life balance. Promotions are limited - you'll be denied a promotion due to length of service not being long enough. Really bad leadership - none are trained in how to lead, coach or... drive.

Conseils à la direction

Stop talking about improving the culture - actually do it - or at least try. Train your managers and leaders - they are highly unskilled. Get HR to actually do something about the bullying and intimidation - they are not the least bit interested in fixing this and it's rampant across the Toronto office. Improve your compensation - working people to death for pennies is soul sucking.

Avantages

Great knowledge source, all the latest trends are available here. A true global company.

Inconvénients

Life balance, like any consultancy
