Worst job, that I've had. No work/life balance, bureaucracy, poor organization. Not for experienced hire.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- Known brand, good for the CV
- If you have no work experience it can be a good starting point as all the following companies will feel like a dream-job in comparison with Accenture
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
- No work/life balance
- Bureaucracy, you are not deciding which project to join, your domain lead does
- Poor hotels
- Poor organization and mentoring of the new joiners
- Poor career development support
- No feedback and employee satisfaction studies
- Low salary considering that you are forced to live for work
- Credit card type that is hardly accepted anywhere in Europe
- Presentation of the company while recruiting is very different from the actual situation at Accenture. Don't lie people
Verbesserungsvorschläge
- If you have a company policy setting certain amount for the hotel rate in a city it should not be allowed for the project leads to set it lower. We spent so much time traveling and staying outside of home, at least we should get a normal place to sleep and not some camping tent an hour away from the client side, it's enough that we have to travel all over the country 2 times a week!
- if you find the project, you should be able to join it, I don't care about the administrative organization
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Depends on the project.
Kommunikation
You get into project, nobody controls if the work is going well. Everything works only via escalation with the management /leadership team
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Again depends on the project. About which cooperation can be talked, if the employees are used by the company and leadership, forced to take vacation when the lead needs, forced to work overtime when you have private appointments
Work-Life-Balance
Forget about your private life and hobbies, joining this company is like joining cult, there will be no room left for anything else.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
If they think you should join a certain project, you will be forced to do it. If you like something else-it's your problem.
Interessante Aufgaben
If you are lucky you can get into very innovative and interesting project. If you are less lucky they will put you in any project, even if it doesn't fit your career goals and qualification
Gleichberechtigung
All nationalities and genders are welcome. If you are a new joiner the life is not easy. If you have a low career level your voice and opinion won't be heard.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There are almost no older employees, because nobody wants to work that long at the company like this. I guess if an older person joins Accenture, he/she will run away very quickly, because he/she has some other place to compare with.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Cheapest hotels, possible with the shared bathrooms. Considering that you are there every week for 4 days a week is a very big minus. Company's events - you will have to share a room with another colleague. Offices of Accenture are good, but as a consultant you are almost never there. Good computers. Project can be anywhere, traveling time is your private time if you can't work while traveling. Considering that you can hardly choose a project, you might travel a lot and also use your free time for that.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Big offshore teams in India, Philippines etc, the key point is law costs, so the labor market here is completely irrelevant, therefore no social responsibility towards the place where they earn money
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Considering no work/life balance, traveling on business in your free time, bad hotels without fitness and private bathrooms, this is very a little what they pay for this kind of "life"

Karriere/Weiterbildung
A lot of learning opportunities and trainings, although not every project lead is happy to give time for this. So it's very luckily you will have to make learning online in your free time. Many people are leaving the company already within the firs years after hiring, this is why for the ones, who stay it's pretty quick to grow the career level. It takes longer to get higher level at the classical not consulting company, but the main reason is that such companies are simply better place to work and the competition is higher.
