Great benefits, horrible hours

Pros

Decent PTO and benefits, working with other designers, and engineers are the best, all super friendly and considerate.

Cons

For designers, pay is horrible compared to consultants, yet you're forced to work long hours along side them. A project lead once got mad at me because i didn't respond to a teams ping at midnight, excuse me for sleeping...another called me Sat morning and said I needed to work on a presentation because he forgot he had a client call on Monday. No boundaries at all.

Pros

- Leadership is as transparent as they are allowed to be within Accenture - Revenue increasing very quickly year over year - Some nice benefits overall - Staffing model is a centralized, rather than having to find your own projects - Some great legacy clients but those projects are few and far between now - Usually a great legacy team that was acquired a couple years prior

Cons

- Culture is not supportive any longer due to removing almost all office perks and not investing in cultivating it in other ways. Glorified pizza parties at the end of the day. - Office location is not in a desirable area any longer due to traffic - Managers and above only care about selling projects and not developing junior staff or keeping a positive culture in place - Some projects are being sold way above current capabilities or capabilities of people that have left the company 6+ months ago - Experienced Hires are given no training and it's sink or swim, they are also given false promises of "fast track" to becoming Manger which has never existed - Overall compensation is lower than competitors - PIPs are being given out to new college hires for not being staffed but again with centralized staffing you have no control over this - Projects are turning into more PMO based projects than actual execution work - Essentially have to say you will be leaving, don't see any career growth, or have a competing offer to get a promotion. - Most new managers have been riding off the success of the junior staff rather than their own capabilities - Messaging around attrition being low, and that the bonus pool set aside is going to only high impact leaders demotivates everyone
