"Accenture is a fantastic opportunity for "new comers" that want to learn the business, optimize their skills learning from very seasoned professionals and want to see the world. We have recently begun to entertain "experienced hires" who don't have as pleasant a time doing things "the Accenture way" which sometimes lacks integrity."

"As a minority, you are 3x less likely to stay at this company for 2 years. There's no mandatory training for learning to work with folks who are different from you. The performance rating process is evolving but doesn't account your voice, only your managers who may not always like you. Pay could be more competitive. Training is minimal and many have to qualify for it."

"Example review for Jobot."

"My company was acquired in September 2019. I am currently in the process of leading the development and transfer of some of the technologies and software components that have been designed specifically for the Utility Industry. With over 500,000 employees, the concept of individuality is quickly eroding."
