Accenture reviews

There isn't any time to learn on the job and everyone assumes you will know exactly what to do on day one, so be careful what level you come in at. Lower levels are safer because analysis work is pretty standard and managers and senior managers will give you templates and more guidance. Senior managers are basically screwed because managing directors don't have time to show them the ropes and the rest of the team is depending on them to already know how to do it a certain way the team is used to. When trying to get on projects, senior managers and managers will also find out that managing directors already have their favorite "go to" people they have worked with for years, so they will ONLY pick you if those people are unavailable. Because of the fast nature of everything, if you make one wrong misstep, it will be assumed it is because you are incompetent, not that you misunderstood the ask or something else was the cause.

When you first start at ACN, they lure developers in with the promise of AR, VR, and AI. They say you’ll be coding and learning new technologies. This is all a farce. You will not be coding and very, very, VERY rarely will you be working on projects that use the technologies listed above. Honestly, I was completely lied to. Instead, you’ll be stuck with an impossible workload doing work that doesn’t even relate to what you were told in the hiring process. Accenture management fosters an unhealthy relationship with work. They continue to say, “hey, this is a great +1” when realistically you’re at +10 with 12 hours of meetings in an 8 hour work day. Then all the “learning opportunities” will essentially be you testing out of training because you have no time to actually learn anything. You don’t even had time to use the restroom in your 8+ hour work day. If you’re on the business-side, it’s a pretty sweet gig. However, developers, the business will work you to the grave. If you wish to keep your coding skills and your mental health, don’t look here.
