Culture at Accenture New Zealand

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.

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.

Socialising is heavily emphasised, and within my functional department (products) there are informal drinks every second week so I can get to know my colleagues. Socialising after work is very important, and the culture is very welcoming to attend these events.

In the office hours, culture is great. Not a lot of culture for graduates after hours. Not very hierarchical - which is great.

I have enjoyed the teams I have worked with colleagues both above and below are all great people.

Outside office hours there is a lot of organised social activities, which helps with the vibe of the place

Relaxed structure and hierarchy: senior leadership are approachable and formalities are foregone in favor of quality work. Lack of social culture and cohesion - can be very isolating at times.

I love that there is a flat structure, everyone is extremely approachable, regardless of their position. The team is very friendly and inclusive, and always willing to give a helping hand.

So far, the culture has been great. Everyone is really lovely, and really encourages you to get involved. For someone who is a little more introverted, this can be hard to reconcile, but everyone is very welcoming, both at work and after hours.
