Once Accenture. Always Accenture.

Yesterday I attended to Accenture Alumni cocktail party.
It was an event exclusively for former Accenture employees and, obviously, for Accenture Senior Managers and above.

I've been with Accenture twice, and loved it both times.
I always felt that Accenture really care about its people. The proof is in such meetings, Accenture cares about you even if you're no longer with them.
The event itself was very nice and allowed us to chat with people that we haven't seen for awhile. Many of us updated the mobile numbers between two drinks, sushi and ice cream.

Obviously such events have a business return. There were a lot of business cards changing hands, contacts updated and new contacts made.
There's also the marketing part of it, people that attended surely chatted about it with current coworkers or write about it in their blogs.
And precisely how many companies do you know that invite former employees for a cocktail?

On the way out, everybody got a Bonsai with a "thank you" card for helping Accenture to be the company that it is.

Well, tank you Accenture for the cocktail and for the challenges that I was given and that allowed me to be a better professional.
