Accenture

"It's a consulting firm, so any project within the company will be extremely time consuming. Although some projects are more flexible than others, it was always hard to find time for your family and yourself when work weeks were mostly working all day. Even when working from home it wasn't that good. "

"Be careful about talking about your family and children. They aren't interested and ding you for having young families. "

"If you are a seasoned consultant, the company would be a great fit. But if you are fresh out of college or from another career path, I've noticed it's rare to see a woman rise up the ranks quickly without having to leave the company and then come back. "

"Accenture has excellent professional & career development programs to assist women (and anyone) with moving to the next level, but these are typically self-driven and can vary in accessibility depending on the type of role and line of business. Those with ambition, drive, and strong internal-to-the-company mentors will do best here. Now with a public goal of 50/50 gender equality in staffing and 25% of management roles staffed by women, I've seen a big improvement in proactive efforts to prepare women for leadership and promote them."

"Global Company, work life balance, benefit package, training and development, great people to work with and for, women leadership programs, committing to boosting workforce to 50% women by 2025"
