[Merged] why/why not go to Accenture?
REQUENCY
PExer
i'm a college senior and almost everyone got application invites from Andersen (soon to be Accenture). can anybody give me an idea on how it is to work for this company?
Comments
For me, personally, Andersen-type IT/management isn't my type... and I'm happy I went into the Internet field instead, when it was still quite new.
dude, you may want to read this thread for more insights regarding Accenture.
the work and pay is OK there that's why they got no problem looking for prospective employees, but, there are certain isolated cases when kids like you just quit right after the first day in Accenture. It might have been personal reason but nobody would know if you won't try it.
Let, me put it this way: if you are inclined in IT, willing to travel abroad and have trainings here and there, then you might want to check out this company.
Yuga
1) Do you want a job?
2) Do you have time to apply for a job?
Because if your answer to both questions is yes, the pragmatic approach is for you to go through the application process. If you are like most people, you do not have recruiters climbing over each other outside your door, fighting for the chance to offer you a job. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. These are the advantages of applying to, not necessarily working for Accenture:
1) You might get a job offer (which you can always refuse) and find out how much one company is willing to pay you;
2) You will get experience in job interviewing, test taking, and a whole host of other aspects of applying for a job, which you can use when you apply to an employer you do like;
3) You may get to meet good people who work for Accenture, and who can give you a good idea of what it is like to work there.
- ok naman sweldo
- college atmospher, first-name basis tawagan ninyo
- takes you around the world for work and training
- you get to meet people from different countries, which gives you the self-confidence in dealing with cultures other than your own
- airline miles (babaw ba ng kaligayahan? hehe...)
- libreng iced tea (another kababawan)
- libreng internet (pwera sex-related sites, although minsan lumulusot)
- beatiful ladies (although wala pa ring tatalo sa dami ng magagandang babae sa mga banks)
why not:
- minsan ala ka na panahon sa sarili mo dahil sa trabaho (i remember the y2k remediation project na halos araw-araw, maski sabado, madaling-araw na kami umuuwi)
- minsan magpapasko ka sa ibang bansa, malayo sa pamilya mo
- pag may naisip pa ako ipo-post ko, hehe...
actually, zimdude, correct ka. pero di naman sa lahat ng projects yun. there are people here that are involved in e-commerce projects and new technologies.
ako din, i've been with this organization for almost 3 years now. kahit hindi talaga IT ang course ko nung college, no regrets ako sa mga experiences ko dito.
siguro isang plus pag nag-work ka frequency dito sa accenture, aside from those maverick already mentioned eh yung experience to work in an environment na talagang systematic. pero that doesn't necessarily mean na lahat ng bagay absolute - meron pa rin ditong tinatawag na best practices venues wherein you can share processes which may be new or modified that will make life easier/more efficient.
That's what I meant. The process of getting the job is almost as valuable as the job itself.
