Accenture reviews

- Pay is below the market but the expectation is to be the best; work hours at middle management level are ridiculously high and the additional 12-15K when promoted to this level, doesn't compensate for the responsibilities and effort required - No concept of loyalty or doing the right thing for the employee - essentially you are a commodity and dispensed depending on supply-demand - Fragmented Operating Groups/ Cost centers that tend to take a narrow view of their best interests and not that of employee or bigger picture of the organization - Good for generalists but it is hard to specialize; technical competence is NOT well appreciated or suitably rewarded though a technical career path is now reluctantly offered - Top talents are leaving now especially in the last 4-5 months due to poor pay raise and bonus last year - Finally, the performance management process leaves a lot to be desired, subjective, and manipulated easily that ranks everyone (within your group and level). Almost everyone hates it and it is modelled along the lines of GE/Enron to eliminate the bottom 10% when needed and make everyone work harder

The offshore strategy for outsourcing Unit is too bad to onshore employee. Accenture is moving more and more position from NA to offshore, despite the skill, management and work efficiency of the offshore team will cause very bad performance and bad service level to the client. And cause very lower morale among onshore team. Consulting team is somewhat like bodyshop, and earn profit by bringing junior consultant to the client, and the delivery buggy and lower performance application with badly delayed schedule. Even it is a company relay on people and their skill, but in some outsourcing site, it is not respect to skill but more on personal relationship. Trying charge much more than it should to client by propose much higher labor hours estimation.
