Pros

- It’s a job that pays - Access to trainings

Cons

You will be treated like dirt probably. I’ve worked at Big 4 and was honestly treated better, had a better working relationship with upper management, and wasn’t treated poorly. I was given a bait and switch to leave a stable job to join this company and was never once put on a project that was relevant to what I was hired for. I was told to just find another job within the company by a certain deadline and if I couldn’t get another role, I’d be let go. Not really sure how you expect someone to find ANOTHER job at a company that isn’t what you were hired for and then put the onus on them to make it happen after hiring that person. Might as well just work for myself then. Absolute worst job experience of my career and the “people lead” I was given was a completely arrogant, unhelpful person who half the time would just ignore me. WAY better employers out there. Not worth it unless you’re just looking to use them for something.

Pros

The only positive thing would be that there is a good WFH policy, and ACN being a well-established global brand.

Cons

A lot of office politics, narcissism, bureaucracy, red tape, very top heavy, some can be cut-throat. It's a very sales/consulting centric environment with a lot of mediocre protocols, (which I suppose, works for some just not me personally). ACN is all about billing the clients and project based assignments that look "good" on paper; there is a strong emphasis on quantity over quality. IMHO, dealt with a couple of regressive managers whom expected me to know everything from the gecko and wanted me to think just like them. I wasn't there long enough and wasn't passed enough client based projects to effectively, get my feet wet and wasn't given a chance to really build a network. Overall, don't expect anyone to hold my hand its a business but nonetheless, nobody genuinely seemed to express a continued interest as far as my career development. From my own experience, there is no well-defined structure as far as job scope/responsibilities in my niche, I did not get a lot of freedom to make my own decisions, felt that the work life balance was relatively mediocre and unclear. And whenever I was working towards making further self-improvements (most of the time successful, sometimes not), my efforts and contributions were never fully acknowledged and at times, felt a bit penalized like I was a child in school.

Horrible Company

Pros

Good pay and benefits but not worth it in this company

Cons

No loyalty to employees, a culture of back stabbing. corrupt leadership will place you on the bench and staff cheap new hires for existing positions. False promises about travel and project locations. Extremely high attrition rate - stay away
