My fellow workmates at ACN who post all that negative stuff are just a bunch of unstaffed whiners. Also, all that stuff about ACN being full of kids right out of college is just B.S. There are a lot of experience people, like me, who are in their mid to late 20s. We're not all college kids. |

The original poster asked for NON-ACCENTURE employees. I see that reading comprehension isn't a necessary skill for Accenture professionals...
As someone who has not worked at Accenture, but has interviewed Accenture professionals looking to change jobs, my outlook is different than "Straightalk's."
My perception from afar is that Accenture is a kind of a sweatshop, where newly hired undergrads will spend the first couple of years coding. Long hours and travel are normal. Work is systems-based and is not strategic consulting. Having said this, the work experience can be a valuable starting point, especially if you want to go into an IT-related field. Also, I believe that ACN has had some success placing people in top 10 B schools.
For the benefit of the last poster, ACN gets their reputation of being a "bunch of college kids" precisely because there are "a lot of experience (sic) people like [him] who are all in their mid to late 20s." Wow. Sounds like tons of experience to me. Does he not get that the average corporate middle manager in his 40s can't tell the difference between a 26 year old and a 23 year old?
