Culture at Accenture New Zealand

0

So far it's quite good. It is very male dominated, but they're working very hard to change this. I believe it wasn't always good, but they're working to improve it.

Very flat hierarchy. Friendly environment

Great social initiatives and fun learning opportunities with lots of in and out of hours options.

Structure is hard to understand at first. It is constantly in flux, but there are ample opportunities to network and meet with leadership. Teamwork is a big part of job, but there are times when you are expected to handle situations on your own. Being versatile in your learning abilities and being social with co-workers definitely helps.

Socially a very flat hierarchy (not the case regarding pay) Great people

Social, collaborative, work/life balance, training, opportunities and large responsibilities.

The whole organisation has a very welcoming culture - everyone is more than willing to help and teach you. Both my fellow graduates and project members regularly meet after work for casual social events. Hierarchy isn't as obvious and you get a chance to work with a variety of people, all that matters is that you're willing to learn and improve so that you can add value to the project/those around you.

Long hours sometimes, but good work culture and great people

The work culture at my company is brilliant

Accenture staff are great to work with, both inside and outside of the office. They have lunch together and are always laughing, and they frequently go out on Fridays together for a few (too many) drinks.

During office hours, everyone is pretty friendly and willing to offer help. It can be a little difficult to meet lots of people in the company because often the only people you see are your team at the client site. But the team work is always there! It's a reasonably flat organisation, where the MDs/Partners make an effort to connect with you, make sure you feel included and don't think too highly of themselves. After hours, it's pretty good too, as a team some of us go out for drinks or dinner and most people are pretty friendly!

In terms of workplace culture and after hours, it has a hierarchy in terms of the different roles and responsibilities but when it comes to work, people work as one team to deliver things.

Over involved - Expected to stay late for events and team meetings. Hierarchy is structured, cooperation across teams is difficult.

The company culture is all about networking. There a many opportunities outside of work to socialise with colleagues - not as many during working hours. The company structure is so big and complicated it is difficult to understand the hierarchy - generally.

Very social and fun

Unpaid overtime is a regular. Although there is structure, you are always welcome to disrupt and try something new. A lot of teamwork but socialising endorsed but not always initiated by the organisation.

The culture of the company is very friendly and engaging. It is all about networking and knowing people, the social events are a really good opportunity to network and know people. The company is structured really well and the senior people are really friendly and helpful. Everyone is working as a team in Accenture, and I find it is really easy to work in that way.

I think that depends on the operating group you are in. My personal experience in terms of socialising has been popular. There were graduate events organised, as well as events to know your team. However, due to the nature of the work, sometimes it is hard to meet the entire team all in one go at any given time. During hours, there is a tendency to stay at your desk. There aren't that many initiatives to bring the team together e.g. lunch time sports. Further, I think quantity is valued over quality i.e. quantity of time spent on something over the quality. While there is a vertical hierarchy, the company is quite flat in structure and senior management is accessible.
