1. structured career path. First few promotions to CL9 consultant is almost guaranteed even for average performer within 3-4 years. Just need to put in the hours.
2. many different roles to take on (since you on project basis)
Cons:
1. long hours, no work life balance. Will only get worse the higher you go.
2. may get stuck at CL9 consultant and hard to make it to Assistant manager if you don’t demonstrate you are hungry enough.
Advise to fresh grads: Accenture is a great place to kick start your career. If you can make assistant manager by 5-6 years, the pay is very comfortable for someone in late 20s/ early 30s. (8-9k/ mth) Also plenty of opportunities to change job as Accenture’s brand name is well-knowned in Singapore and globally.

Promotion is guaranteed if you put in the hours. Hmmm then how much hours is considered enough since the OT culture is widely known to be really bad for everyday, if majority are required to OT to this standard, how do you stand out then to “put in the hours”? In short, basically you got to work like a slave to be promoted, btw analyst to senior analyst only increase $400 please, is this even a proper promotion?
