Accenture

Hi accenture fam,

Despite the many posts here that seem to be about hating Accenture, I have to say that Accenture is my dream company.

So i've decided to post here about my qualifications and ask if anyone here thinks I could be able to find employment with the company.

My previous employment history was 5 years as an application security penetration tester and I am now working as an applications/systems administrator. I am hoping to not return to the work as a penetration tester and would like to find work in information security/IT just a different role. Does anyone have recommendations for roles that I could fit into or work towards? I'm feeling a bit confused in my career and not sure what to do next.

Thanks!

Saw a recent post regarding the HR of the company and the comments were criticising the company as a sweatshop company. Is Accenture really that bad? I've recently just consulted a professor (head of a school btw) for career advice after grad and he has said that Accenture is a good place to start with as it exposes you to many types of projects that can help with exit opportunities. Never knew Accenture had a bad name to it lol

Ho un iter di selezione in corso con ACN Strategy & Consulting e mi chiedevo quali siano le sostanziali differenze tra le due business unit? (Anche in termini di RAL e benefit eventualmente)

Grazie!

I'm a sophomore rn and applied to the TDP Summer Analyst position. I haven't received an offer or rejection yet, but I'm trying to gauge how "good" an internship at Accenture actually is. Like would it be a good springboard for a potential internship at Google, Microsoft, IBM, etc. ?

This happened for Accenture toronto location for sales role. Recruiter was thoroughly impressed with first round of interview and moved me to the second stage to talk with the hiring team in just a few hours. He asked me my availabile slots and told me would be coordinating a time soon with the hiring team but never got back to me. I sent him multiple emails to follow up, no response.

What pissed me off even more was that I lied at my current job to take a day off just because recruiter promised me an interview and said they're moving really fast with the strict timelines. Not sure what to do, how to handle my emotions because this is extremely unprofessional.

Did I just dodged a bullet from what a toxic boss and culture?

UPDATE: I recieved a call from recruiter after a day of crickets, requesting me to interview the next day. He emailed me at 7PM!!!. The interview was at 10AM the next day leaving me with little to no time for interview prep. Regardless, I said Yes to give it a shot.

The next morning, at 8:30PM the person who referred me for the job initially and connected me with recruiter , got an email stating I was ALREADY rejected. He added it could be an error so I went with the interview regardless and gave it a shot again.

The interview was booked for a whole hour but the hiring manager was in a hurry because her "laptop" was dying. A reason that absolutely stumped me. She wanted to get done with the interview so quick- I've never had an experience like this. As expected, She called the interview off within 15 minutes or less. 5 minutes later I received a call from the recruiter that I was rejected. I asked why and he said I matched all their boxes but she just "liked" the other person more.

I can't even imagine the amount of interview prep stress amongst other things this company made me go through just in a span of 3-4 days.

Hiring manager, along with recruiter were total pieces of shit. I don't recommend this company to anyone and will never apply here ever again.

Myself obviously nung nagapply ako dito ginusto ko talaga magwork dito kaso di naman to the point na niconsider ko syang "dream company" lol. Miya't miya nakakabasa ako ng post ng new joiner na dream company raw nila to at di ko gets kung bakit.

So sa mga taong pumasok sa Accenture dahil dream company raw nila ito... bakit? Anong nakita nyo sa Accenture kung bat nyo sya binansagan ng ganun?

Follow up question: ngayong nagttrabaho na kayo rito, dream company nyo pa ba to at bakit?

Currently, I am a product manager at a well-known company. They have a million-dollar turnover, and I have only recently started. The environment is peaceful, and I am treated very well at the office. We have amenities like food and benefits such as a gym. However, I am in the office practically every day, leaving my home at 7:30 in the morning and returning at 7 in the evening. I had to hire a dog sitter, and even though the work pace is quite relaxed, I no longer have a life outside of work. I had to give one of my two dogs to my mother, and I miss her terribly.

Next week, I have an interview with Accenture. They allow remote work 3-4 times a week, but I've heard mixed opinions - some people enjoy it, while others end up working 60 hours a week. My leisure time is essential to me; I could never work on Saturdays, no matter what. The pay would be higher, around €5000 more than what I earn now, where I feel slightly underpaid compared to my colleagues.
What should I do? I'm looking for a full remote situation or at least a hybrid one where I can work from home 3-4 times a week. However, the job market is tough.

At the same time, I'm really struggling to find my balance in my current company.
What would you do?

Hello, I got offer sa ACN for Software Engineer Position but I asked what specifically focused yung role and the HR said na Data Engineer ( Career Level 10 )

Also I asked if it's the permanent position and the HR said yes. Additionally nag asked din ako if bayad yung OT and bayad naman daw.

I was just wondering, I'm a little bit skeptical sa response ng HR base kasi sa mga nababasa ko regarding ACN and the role is hindi ganon kaganda.

Anyone here working as DE? How was it po? Medyo naguguluhan ako sa sagot ng HR compared sa mga former ACN Employee.

Thank you so much

I joined Accenture this year. It is my second month in the company and I am still on the bench.

The market situation in IT still seems to be difficult in Europe. But since the first day I have been feeling like I did a mistake accepting the job contract at Accenture. It is a big company and administrative processes are complicated. But also the staffing is complicated since it is based on interviews and of course, they have many people that could do the job you would like to do and hence, concurrence when it comes to get a project.

I am getting messages from UK headhunters about possibilities of jobs/roles, but everything ends up in nothing as these headhunters are not really taking you seriously. I applied for 2 jobs as Inhouse Consultant as I don't want to do consultancy in a consultancy company. Nothing happens. There are mor jobs in consultancy companies but the reality at the end once there, there is lack of projects. I can not sleep and am worried about my future.

I wish I could quit my job at Accenture, but if I do it, I won't receive economical support from the government. I am still there because I need the money, otherwise I am very unhappy in the company.

It is not what I expected and the disappointment is big.

I wish someone would have been sincere in telling me how things happens in this company. When I asked some people, only one responded me telling me that she is happy at Accenture and the rest did not respond. One of the non-responders is leaving the company. So, I am very disappointed how things are going. If I only could say goodbye to Accenture.

The company Accenture will take over the company ARHS (Belgium) for which I'm currently working.

What can I expect ?

Do you know someone for which it happened ? What are the working conditions at Accenture ? What'is their car policy ?

I work for a boutique tech consulting firm. More of a lurker on this sub but this has compelled me to post.

Has anyone worked at a smaller consultancy that's been acquired by Accenture? I'm concerned about the freedom and the ability to take initiative on projects that I currently have.

No disrespect to anyone here but I've heard more bad things about the big 4 in general than good things. I'm sure that's not entirely representative of reality but I'm worried because part of what made me stick with this company for six years was because it wasn't one of the big 4, it was nimble, it gave me responsibilities and growth opportunities I would've never had at a big 4.

Any thoughts and feedback would be appreciated.

EDIT: Thank you all for all the responses, if I had time to respond to everything, well I wouldn't be in consulting, but I am reading everything and trying to use it to best position myself in all this. So from a long time lurker, again thank you guys for all advice, I greatly appreciate it.

Boas pessoal,Alguém por aqui que tenha feito o Technology Graduate Programme da Accenture? Podem dizer-me se é presencial, se é pago (e quanto) e se é uma boa experiência?

Se alguém souber quais os valores que a Accenture pratica para alguém sem experiência, também agradecia bastante.

Obrigado a todos!

I'm an engineering fresh grad and career shifter to tech. Ask ko lang anong pros and cons ng pag work as ASE sa accenture at sa seven seven? Kumusta ba ang bootcamp, compensation, work-life balance, at culture ng dalawa?

Worth it ba ang mahabang bond sa seven seven? Totoo bang mas hands on at in depth ang bootcamp sa seven seven compared sa accenture?

Has anyone here ever done the women in tech bootcamp at Accenture? The details for it are .

I’m currently doing a 1 year university certification in computer science, and I’ll be done in a year. If anyone has done this, how is it? Is it worth it even if I’m still somewhat of a beginner in coding?

My main goal in attending would be to make some connections.

Thanks!

I read up on their website but don't fully understand what they do. Is it like a bunch of partnerships coming together on their website to offer services? Someone please explain!

Hello guys.

I just want to ask for your advice which is better for a fresh graduate like me with no experience on IT Industry na gusto pasukin tong field na to? I actually applied for both company but I accepted the DXC as my first company to work with (kakastart ko lang this March) kasi okay salary and mas nauna sila nagoffer haha nalate lng ng less than a week si ACN bago ulet mag reach out after my initial interview. Haha.

I want to know if career growth ano mas better?

Feel free to comment if ano sa tingin nyo. I want to know your opinion kung nakapagwork kau dito both or sa isa I would highly appreciate your advices thank you agad.

Hey guys!
So I am currently a junior at GT and a CS major, and I just got offered a summer 2023 internship position at Accenture as a Technology Summer Analyst. I also have a return offer from a company I worked at last summer (Home Depot) for software engineer intern.

I was wondering if anyone could provide insights as to whether this Accenture role would be a good one or not. Has anyone done this internship? If so, what did you think?

Is Accenture a somewhat prestigious company that looks good on resume? Or would I be better off taking the home depot return offer? (I also want to keep applying to other places but I wanted to get a better idea of what this offer means)

Also, out of curiosity, if I accept this offer, then get a better one later can I take back my acceptance without any major penalities?

TLDR; what do you think about Accenture's Technology summer analyst internship position? Good/prestigious opportunity for a CS junior?

Have a virtual assessment tomorrow with Accenture, anyone know what the grad role is like and advice on the interview ?

Hi! Can I pursue the career in ASE (Accenture)? I'm a fresh graduate Civil Engineer, and do have basic knowledge in programming. Do you think I will be accepted in this position? And, what are the tips that you can give to me regarding to applying in this position?

Thank you!

Just wondering if anyone has any particularly good or bad experiences with them.
