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.
Big-4-Small-401k
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.
And no pension but we get 15% off stock purchases up to 10% of our salary
@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.
Mck1!!! Wrecked us all 😂
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%.
