Accenture

1. Trainings provided by high-class trainers.
2. Good increments as compared to other service-based companies.
3. On-time salary.
4. Some good projects, especially in SFDC.
5. Supportive colleagues.

1. No transparency in the appraisal process. It's very biased.

2. Lack of visibility by offshore management. You may be good in the eyes of onshore or the client, but offshore management will not appreciate your work.

3. Before COVID, our team was struggling to get a single Work From Home request approved, as our manager denied it by giving silly excuses like, "WE NEED TO SHARE YOUR OFFICE PREMISES WORKING HOURS WITH THE CLIENT."

4. Very rare team outings occurred in our project. We used to have to force our management to organize a party or team lunch.

5. The PMO is also very bad. You will not get any answer from them if you encounter any problems regarding timesheets and WBSEs.

6. Project shifting is next to impossible, and if you are good, forget it.

7. Onsite opportunities totally depend on the manager, no matter how excellently you perform.

8. No career growth is discussed by your manager or even HR.

9. You can feel a gap between your leadership and you.

10. B and C shift allowances are also very low, just 200/300 rs per day.

11. I joined there as a lateral hire, and my onboarding experience was very bad. I was struggling to get a seat, and then I was forced to use some other employee's desktop repeatedly for the formalities. After a month of struggle, I received my laptop.

12. At last, but not the least, "VARIABLE PAY IS A MYTH." I was promised to get 15.6% variable pay in the offer letter but received only 4%, which is less than the default.

Please maintain transparency in the appraisal process in terms of metrics.

Do communicate with your team members before they make up their minds to leave the company.

Improve the onboarding experience, as small things can make a big difference.
