Our match vests immediately, but you don't get any match until a year and a few months of working here (it activates Feb 1st and July 1st). So if I start march '16, then my match starts July '17 and vests immediately when it starts

That ACN stock purchase plan really pays off. I used it to put 35% down on a house. It might be our best benefit.

But don't forget the five year vesting period!

100% match up to 6%. Vested in employer contributions after 2 years of service.

12% of salary and bonus at end of year, regardless of how much we put in

Pwc also invests 3-5% in your "pension", regardless of 401k contribution, so it would be misleading to not at least include that in the number.

Damn... pretty solid accenture

100% match up to 6% at the end of each year that is vested immediately.

@booz 2 instant, but you have to be at the firm on 12/1 to get it for that year

To the IRS limit.

25% of 6% for 401k plus 5% Wealth builder/Pension contribution. That effectively takes PwC contribution to 6.5%. Vesting is a pain, but the plan itself is not too shabby for a Big4.

Eek, that's not the best. We're not amazing either tho, 100% up to 3%

@ZS1 - with 6 year scaled vesting..

P4, we can set aside up to 10% of our base salary to buy ACN stock at a 15% discount. The money is taken out of every check, and twice a year that amount is used to buy stock. We have access to the stock immediately, and can either sell right away or hold it.

When I started at ACN, the stock was around $60, and it was about $125 today. That's a good gain on it's own, and with an extra 15%, it's really valuable. Most ACN people use it for house down payments.

Booz Allen is a 100% Match to your 6% deposit. Company match vests every January 1st. I hate the Kool aid here but this is a nice benefit.

Deloitte is the same, 25% up to 6%.

We also get a pension though which I think rolls over into a 401K when you leave

4.5% vested immediately, no match required. After 3 years, jumps to 6%.

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?

Manager Ratings: Generally speaking, in consulting, for a long term project, if there’s a team of 6 people (1 person managing everyone, and below that person 5 different people who are associates or senior associates) is there pressure on the manager to give at least 1 of the 5 associates/senior associates a bad review? Assuming everyone performed anywhere from good to great, would a lot of managers feel it would make them look bad to let all 5 have a good review?
