Pros and cons of working at Accenture Australia and New Zealand
Pros
The diversity in projects and the opportunity to get involved wherever interests you. You really can drive your own career and there's not much red tape.
Training and learning are really important at Accenture which I really like.
Inclusive and work-life balance.
Open office space makes meeting coworkers and collaborating with peers easy.
Plenty of free drinks/dinners are available throughout the year and ubers/meal credits are provided depending on the nature of the project.
Cons
Having to apply for projects - it was quite demoralizing to be constantly rejected for projects when it's your first graduate job.
There is no clarity around the promotion process and there has been a lack of promotions in recent times.
My initial project was not in the industry that I wanted to work in but quickly realised I could incorporate sustainability into all industries.
Pay is standard among similar firms. Graduate salaries have barely changed in the last 5-10 years.
Performance and promotion reviews do not involve a direct conversation with the employee/reviewee.
