Accenture

I have worked at Accenture for 9 years.

1. Lots of learning: There is a lot of internal material for learning. Classroom trainings for different skills (technical, design thinking, or leadership) are also very good.
2. Top-notch skills to work on.
3. Nice facilities and cafeterias. I have worked in Bang3, 4, 7, and Bang 11 facilities.
4. Shuttle is free.
5. I got nice subordinates to work with.

1. Lot of politics.
2. Hikes are pretty low (2-5%) even for technical jobs. Even though I stayed there for a long period, my hike was very low compared to the overall standard in IT.
3. Leadership is not open on how decisions are made regarding promotions. A lot of political games happen here (even though they say no peer comparison).
4. HRs do not talk to people at all. They are like invisible and do not mind employees.
5. Most of the top-notch skills have only internal POCs and no actual projects. Even if you are working on a POC, you may get stuck there and may not get a chance to work on actual client projects.
6. The management exaggerates a lot about the POCs (IoT and Machine Learning) to clients and tries to fool them.
7. Accenture hires a lot, but there are no actual client projects. Most of them are placed in POCs or on the bench.
8. They have strict 9 hours for the Bang11 facility and no work from home. Most of the hi-tech skills work from Bang11. But the people are forced to work 9 hours from the office and no work from home. Other facilities do not have these kinds of strictness; they are flexible.

Please show integrity toward the client and show actual data to clients.

Please be considerate equally towards all people regarding flexibility at work.
