Pros
The people. Fellow co-workers who have become lifelong friends. Although with turnover we are losing the good ones all the time. Casual dress code. Somewhat flexible on working remotely and not strict on arrival and departure times. Flex Friday’s. Barista bar in office.
Cons
The constant turn over of leadership and never following through on making things better. Pretending they are addressing employee concerns but never do Saying they value employee growth and career development but not actually doing anything about it and just letting people spin their wheels forever The new processes and systems that were introduced to make things easier on us have made things worse. Especially Accenture. There is no support. Accenture is the most worthless resource and one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever seen at a company. Accenture Procurement and especially IT are terrible. Leadership pretends to care about these problems and asks for your feedback, but when you try to bring up the issues and work on solving them, they actually dont do anything about it and tell you that you are not being a team player. Very hypocritical. Most people in the office are getting more and more miserable by the day and starting to take it out on each other so what was once a friendly work environment no longer is. Claim to promote work life balance but the people who never stop working are the ones who are rewarded and revered. We are controlled and micromanaged by UK office and execs. The UK execs consist entirely of old white men who could not care less about employee satisfaction and are introducing these new systems under the guise of improving processes when all it does is improve their bottom line. Then even with all of these cost cutting measures and constant spouting of “record-breaking” profits, we somehow never manage to make full bonus. They set the goals to impossible standards so that we can never get a full bonus. We moved into a brand new office space so that we would have more room but they chose a location that gave us no room to grow and after only being there a year we are already out of space and people don’t have desks. No one has assigned desks and they are first come first serve. Employees literally don’t have desks to work at. It just keeps going downhill with lots of empty promises.
