Pros
Decent benefits such as private healthcare
Cons
Absolutely disgusting company. There are about 10000 employees in the UK. A majority are from offshore India or Phillipines who have come over on a work visa. Therefore a majority of the technical work undertaken is done by these resources. If you are from the UK and want to do something technical, such as programming, you can be sure as hell it'll be sourced to these cheaper resources. This leaves you with mundane boring and repetitive business analysis/PMO work. Management can vary so you could be micro managed and work long hours. If you are on the bench, then they will bully you and pressure you into a role that you do not want. If you try to go for other roles, your department will find the people leads of those roles and collude behind your back to reject you, so they can steal you for their high priority role. This is because senior managers and directors have yearly KPIs to meet where they must make £X amount of sales or they get sacked. This becomes very political and can cause you a lot of distress. You also have a counsellor (mentor) who may also try to be political for his departments gains. The clients are boring big companies with old IT systems that are behemoths to maintain or change, and Accenture cannot handle them as it becomes messy and spaghetti like. All they care about is charging you to the client so you are billable and make them money. You don't actually learn anything transferrable to other companies and you can forget about any real technical skills. You'll get 10 people from your department chasing you to take a role, whilst they disregard your ambitions and future aspirations. I've never seen anything like it. Stay away from here.
