What’s the maternity/paternity leave policy at Accenture?

8 weeks paternity leave if you are the primary caregiver. 2 weeks if you are secondary... It's easy to say you are primary as long as your spouse does not also work at Accenture

Maternity gets additional time off, but I'm not familiar with it

^this is not correct. “Primary care giver” is 16 weeks (mother, father, etc.), “secondary” is 8. There is no maternity / paternity distinction, as long as both parents do not work at Accenture you can take either

After how long can you take this benefit? 1 year?

Old post, but A1 is way off. You get 8weeks for primary and 2 weeks for secondary. You get 8 additional if you are the birth mother. Add it up and you get 16 weeks maternity leave or 2 weeks paternity leave. Some men register as primary care giver to get the full 8, but you have to attest to being primarily responsible for the care of the child during normal business hours. For some men, this is totally true but many just flat out lie to get the extra time off. Either way it is ridiculous that Accenture puts anyone in that position.

Does it change for MDs? I’ve heard of someone taking 6 months for paternity but was at the MD level…

Policy doesn’t change for MD’s. We also have a future leave option to take 3 months unpaid time off while retaining benefits. If you tack that onto accrued pto and paternity leave, you can get to 6 months if you declare yourself as primary caregiver.

Does this benefit start after year 1 of service?

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
