Accenture

1. Decent salary, but not acceptable as the work done is more.
2. Company gifts.
3. Good hike.
4. Access to best resources for upskilling: Pluralsight, etc.

1. Hiring process: You will get the analyst position for solving two programming questions and get 6.5 LPA. If not, you will get the associate position with a 4.5 LPA package. Even if you get promoted to analyst, you will be paid less than a hired analyst with no experience.

2. Avanade hires people who are basically required to work in Microsoft technologies. If they are working on other technologies, they will still have to learn Microsoft technologies that are irrelevant to their project.

3. A major con is techleap Fastrack promotion. They brought this for Associate Software Engineer, where they will give a paper for one technology. One paper will decide fast-track promotion. Avanade employees who are working on different technologies face a setback here.

People doing more work and contributing more, if failed in the exam, will not be fast-track promoted. However, the one who came later with not much contribution to the project, if passed, gets promoted.

Please stop these TECHLEAP exams. One exam that decides fast-track promotion rather than employee contribution to a project is an injustice.
