Accenture reviews

Unless you love living out of a suitcase, eating out every night, and can put your life on hold for a career then you may want to think twice about any consulting firm. I feel a lot healthier physically and mentally after moving to a desk job. Besides the lack of a work/life balance, you will rarely have the opportunity to get on to the projects you want. Basically once admitted to the firm you have to find your own roles, which is a lot more challenging as an experienced hire. To get a project you need to build your own network and pretty much sell yourself to the project. This aspect of the firm was not clearly discussed during the interview process.

The company is on an aggressive mission to move as much work to India and other low-cost countries as possible. They are top heavy in management, and short on leaders with direction. There is an abundance of managers, and the shrinking technical resources are forced to work to no end. True leaders are becoming hard to find here. Most employees must work while on PTO, or risk falling behind and failing.
