Accenture Inc.

Accenture Incorporated started out as an accounting consultancy firm.  They were known then as Andersen Consulting until they progressed to a more diversified outsourcing company.  They service different companies across 3 different towers of business within the organization namely, services, technology, & corporate.  They collaborate with their clients and help them become high performance organizations.  Accenture is located around the world.  They are across Europe, across Asia, across Africa and Australia. They probably have an office in every continent except Antarctica.

I worked for Accenture for over 4 years and I must say that they are the best company I have worked for so far.  Benefits are great but will vary depending on what tower you are employed under.  They have their own cooperative called ASLA or Accenture Savings & Loan Association which, by the way, is accredited by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.  That's saying a lot for this company if you ask me.  They will give you the option to own their stocks by allotting a certain portion of your salary every payday.

The company has great executive leadership, a very sound and credible corporate governance and has garnered awards time and time again from prestigious business organizations.

You can enroll in their "Death and Fire Assistance Program" if you choose to and this will benefit you in case of those two unfortunate events in your life.  When our house burnt down back in 2007, I was able to avail 8,000 pesos as financial assistance because I was a member and when my mom died a few years later, I also got around that much as bereavement assistance.  They will send you flowers for the wake as well as part of their program and I appreciate that very much.

Accenture also boasts of different events and activities where different clubs are organized to create camaraderie among peers across all towers and sites.  There's the movie club where they reserve at least 2 cinemas where employees can watch a movie for free.  Then there's the Accenture Dragon Boat Club, Dance Club for hip hop and urban dancing instructions.  There's the archery, mountaineering, photography and a whole lot more.  One time, there was a Mixed Martial Arts Club but I guess the powers that be in Accenture do not want to promote violence so the club got axed very early in its existence.  There are about a dozen more of these clubs that you can join for free.  And by the way, their gym is equipped with a rowing machine and a personal trainer to boot.

The pay is above the industry standard.  They pay not just the 13th month but up to 14th.  Leave incentives are progressive and you still get a paid time off on top of that.  Their facilities are well taken cared of and most of your co-workers and colleagues from across towers are all professionals.  I think they only hire college graduates here but from what I heard, they have recently opened their doors to non-graduates.

I can never say anything bad about Accenture and if anybody who worked for this company before have any bad experience leaving, feel free to post your comments.  My experience wasn't all pretty and nice, I have had brushes with the management but all's well that ends well.  Being part of the management team here was the best experience I had.

Check out their career website below but if you're in a hurry, I think they have re-opened their recruitment hub on the 3rd floor of Robinson's Forum on Pioneer street.
