At a Glance What Insiders Say In the interview, “I was asked how you handle team problems, individuals who don’t work, people who miscommunicate. It was easy but you have to be honest.” “It’s very different from working in a traditional position, because you’re working on a project. It focuses you.” Career Ladder • Accenture employees follow a defined career path with set milestones. New employees move from analyst, to consultant, to manager, to senior manager, and in some cases, to associate partner and partner. IT employees work as programmers before moving into system analyst positions, and then in some cases, into manager roles. • Undergrads who join the firm as analysts can generally move to the consultant level in 2 to 3 years. Undergrads entering into strategy start as business analysts and may leave to go to business school after 3 or 4 years. • Midcareer hires join at almost any level, depending on their programming or industry experience. Hiring Estimates Accenture is hiring 30,000 people worldwide for its fiscal year ending August 31, 2004. About 8,000 of those positions are in the United States, and of those, 1,600 to 1,800 are likely to be new analysts that have just graduated or have a few years of experience. 2
