Process
The manager who interviewed for the final process was extremely rude and unprofessional. They canceled the interview four times for absolutely no reason at all and only noticed after the interview started. The manager was late for the interview and had to wait 15 minutes for them to join. They were extremely rude when asked questions, showed absolutely no respect, and were very unprofessional and unethical.

Saying it's a "nice and dream company"... if you want to ruin other careers
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Pros: * Big projects for Accenture, not for the employee.
* Big brands and clients (golden) to trap people.
Cons: Salary:
-------
* The salary offered is below market.
* Highest attrition rate due to the above factors; hard work is not always appreciated or valued.
Work Env:
--------
* Bad work-life balance, even though telecommuting is offered.
* The office is better described as a political arena.
* A 10-hour mandatory shift is for those below TL; those above will have flexibility.
Growth:
-------
* Moderate appreciation for work even after using scheduling tools. If a project changes, everything is in vain.
* Promotions are partial and biased, mainly depending on your supervisor/AM/manager/Sr. Executive. He is your god.
Project and Process:
---------------------
* Hard-locking or trapping people on projects without their consent.
* Asking people to do work with ITES/BPO skills, like a project, by hiding details before locking them into the confidential agreement with the client.
* Poor retaining policy, stating that a lot of money was invested in your verification.
* If you shout, they soften their approach, saying they are in the process of releasing you, then later tell you to search for a skill set matching a project to cheat. That's for show, but something will go on behind the scenes.
* Then the picture will come to be there or you will be fired.
Check before Get In:
---------------------
* If you are planning to move to Accenture, look out for the variable pay system! It may include up to 25% of your total salary! (They will not pay this by making you non-billable or hard-locking you on the bench).
* So, negotiate well or ask them how much the VP is before signing anything.
* Not quality work (it deals in support only).
* No freedom to give your preferences to the company, even after spending 3 years with the company.
