I appreciate the good work-life balance and overall job satisfaction at Accenture salary and benefits, promotions/appraisals, and company culture are considered average, there's room for improvement. The learning opportunities and job security are satisfactory, contributing to a positive work experience.

The only good thing about Accenture throughout my tenure I would say was my team. Great collaboration and sync up throughout the team.

...oesn't help. Accenture is only good for a fresher, just join Accenture gain 1-1.5 yrs experience and switch because Accenture is terribly underpaying its freshers even after good amount of experience but if they will hire a lateral hire for double the salary with same years of experience as of freshers who joined Accenture. There's very high pay compression. If I talk about appraisals/promotions those are pretty low in % too even if you perform and get a rating of 4 out of 5. If you will stay at Accenture your year on year increment on average will be less than the inflation rate so better switch after 1-1.5 yrs if you join as fresher. Talking about skill development you will have access to tons of learning platforms but if it comes to any internal classroom training you will not get an approval to attend any training unless that tech is used in your project. But nonetheless you can go and learn the tech using the recorded videos on various learning platforms Accenture gives access to.

Salary is low and getting good projects is hard. Skill development apart from training will be very slow basically you feel like wasting ur time if you are not upskilling side by side.
