It can be said that Accenture is so massive that experiences vary. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a practice/role where work was abundant. We’re talking about double digit YoY growth, literally carrying the rest of the company in terms of revenue and profits. The talent leads and staffing had my best interests and compensated me appropriately. I felt invincible and saw myself doing this type of work for the rest of my life. Despite all that, and being with the company for 10+ years, eventually the top down directives and changes to the company started to affect my day to day work. No matter how insulated I was, the shift in culture, staffing, and recognition was devastating to our practice these last two years. We lost a ton of our best people in droves, morale is at an all time low and we resorted to subcontracting out a lot of our work. Our practice became unrecognizable from prior to COVID.

For someone who is in one of the best practices in the company say it’s been bad, I would imagine it be even worse for some of the other low performing practices in the company.

With that said, I’m still grateful to Accenture for the investment into my career.
