Profit Valued Over Employee Well-being
Pros
The pay and most benefits are competitive with other competing companies.
Cons
As mentioned the pay and most benefits are competitive with other competing companies, but it comes at a very high cost to the employee. - Loss of many many perks - No overtime pay - Vacations are often canceled and then PTO hours are lost at the end of the fiscal year as you can carry more then 240 hours. - The review system is very political and unfair which directly drive pay raises and promotions. There is much favoritism in the company. - Very few opportunities if you're not in the Consulting arm of the firm. - Easier for the company to burnout employees and replace them with younger hires. - Little training opportunities that provide value to the employee. Accenture prefers they use their in-house training and books rather than show capability by earning certifications.
