During my education at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, I was contemplating my professional career.
I thought, “What would I need in order to really grow and thrive in my career as I prepare to navigate today’s exceedingly uncertain business climate?”
My checklist for the “perfect” workplace included:
- A fast-paced environment where learning never stops.
- Cross-functional exposure across a variety of industries.
- Mentors that are open and willing to help guide you.
- A culture that values me as a professional and as a human being.
- Boundaryless career opportunities.
Having spent more than three years at Accenture, I can say I’ve checked off all my boxes for career success—and more.
Opportunities are endless.
Opportunities at Accenture transcend traditional barriers.
Instead of having to choose one path early on, I have had the chance to work on projects across a number of teams—from pricing strategy, sales acceleration and operational excellence to global supply chain strategy, venture capital and product management.
From an industry perspective, my work has spanned across consumer durables and fast-moving consumer goods, automobiles, textiles and steel.
I’ve been pushed to test my critical thinking abilities. I’ve acquired new tools and skills while experiencing how human ingenuity and cutting-edge technology come together to create real change.
It’s been invaluable having this kind of exposure early on in my career.
We’re always learning and growing.
Accenture is dedicated to helping its people grow. We are encouraged to keep our skills fresh and continuously learn through systematic trainings and development programs.
I take advantage of our many in-person and virtual learning opportunities. From Strategy College in Chicago to our internal training programs and online courses from INSEAD and Northwestern University, I continue building my knowledge in the latest technologies and focusing on professional development.
Our leaders serve as mentors, helping us see where we are and guide us to where we want to be. They value our recommendation on projects, never afraid to adapt as necessary. The channels of communications are open, helping us unlock our true potential.
We work hard and play hard.
We work hard, and we’re encouraged to be our true selves, professionally and personally. We’re recognized for our contributions and our dedication—and we’re valued for who we are.
We are encouraged to split our time and energy to make time for the things that we love. For example, I make time to pursue my passion for tennis every day.
Join us; the opportunities at Accenture are limitless. It’s up to you to find the ones that bring you joy.
