The company cares

The company did it's best to make you want to go into work. With that being said, I could not handle the call center environment. I think Accenture is very accommodating and understanding that the mental load is a lot, and they do what they can to make the time off the phone positive

  • Inclusive work environment

Good pay, everything else nope.

I liked working at Accenture at first. Training was super fun, inclusive, engaging. Then it became downhill actually starting the job. Its cold calling clients and most businesses you get in your book of business either get irritated that you called, or straight up dont answer. Hard to get leads, and clients. Overall not the best job. Management likes to micro manage too.

Pros

Good Pay.

Cons

Long Hours, Micro managing, No personal life, Cold Calls.

Work Life Balance

They always promote work-life balance but there's a lot of work to do so you can't even enjoy the perks. In addition, they also have a great program on performance achievement.

Stable job, unrelenting workload

Stable job, good benefits and relatively decent work environment on the surface. A good job for someone looking for something solid for a short time, but the project is suffering from inept management and the fall out of over promising and under delivering to the client, resulting in major deficits in resources and the quality of work put out by the contact centre.

Extremely fast-paced call center

Training is complicated and when entering the field it is hard to apply things that learned in training sessions. The most challenging part is to handle two chats at the same time. Very stressful overall.

Stressful and unprofessional place

No working life balance - management unprofessional with poor knowledge and zero care about people.Stressful schedule with 6 days in a row and only 1 day off, weekend included. Schedule Rotation never fair it depends your race and country of provenience and your relashionship with managers and tls. I can suggest this job and company only to my enemy, stay away its like a plague there specially for meta project.

Pros

Difficult to find one

Cons

Everything

Fun place and lots of learning

Fun place to work at and lots of learning. Work life balance is good but it depends on the projects as well. Overall, career growth is kind of slow but my experience was good.

It’s alright

If you’re into marketing and communications, you’ll probably like it. Different projects and the project I was assigned to had 0 morals, absolutely dreaded going to work. Felt as if I was selling my soul.

Good company

Accenture is a global consulting firm that is known for its extensive training and development programs for employees. However, it's worth noting that you may be assigned to projects that are not aligned with your interests or goals, and you may need to be flexible in your work assignments.

complicated.

i was hired through agency - which is horrible. you get ZERO benefits for 12 months or 4 if the company hires you. they’re very strict, can’t be a minute late or they’ll be on your case. 4 weeks of power point training and then boom the throw you into the field. the environment is neat and fun , most of the people are nice but overall if this is a new work environment for you then GOODLUCK.

Absolutely HORRID

I can safely say I have never worked for a worse company. Working for meta is HORRID. They do two days of inclusive diversity woke training. Then they teach you 150,000 things about a computer program you have no chance to actually use in training. Then they throw you on the floor expecting you to have a 95% overall rating on all of the calls or you don’t get a bonus for three months. The job is absolutely complicated and the management treats you like you are stupid if you ask questions. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE job. They don’t care if you know what you’re doing. They just want you to be logged into a productive status so they can bill meta. 10/10 would not Recommend

Pros

Nice break room

Cons

Unrealistic expectations

Micro-managing environment

This place is nuts. Doesn't tell you what you're doing until you get there. We been going through 4 weeks of lecturing where things barely function and the different "teaching" styles of the many random intercepting instructors throws you off topic. After the four weeks of blasting you with information (some useful, some USELESS) they decide to throws you on the floor with little hands on experience on any internal equipment essential success. After very little marketing training they expect you to be an expert and just "wing it" for months in a field that you know nothing about. Some of the trainers were very warm and knowledgeable and some were chaotic and others were lazy and useless lol. Their metrics and leaders are not there for guidance but for compliance. Could be a good way to grow for some who work under strict structures and rules. For others it may not be worth 4-12 months of confusion and anxiety before you understand what the job truly entails and eventually quit.

little direction

there was very little direction, had to find your own work from their internal listings. There was so much emphasis on billing hours and not much support from higher ups.

Good place to work

Overall it’s good place to work. But it would highly depend on which client or which mgr you work for. But usually they are nice and friendly, and professional.

Pros

Many different projects with different technologies

Cons

Not stable, need to change project after the term ends
