Accenture

People in the company and colleagues tend to be "one of the more understanding and sophisticated" I've met in my life.

If I had millions and didn't care about salary, I'd probably still like to work here, just to interact with the people in the office.

Work culture is still decent.

German language bonus and courses for Danubia ATC are still in place.

Some corporate life activities, such as the Christmas party, survived the purging, for now.

ESPP.

Good-looking office with foliage and nice interior.

Over the years, yearly "almost guaranteed" salary hikes were scrapped.

Summer party was scrapped, along with other activities.

Budgets for team activities have decreased and are almost non-existent now.

Meal vouchers, cafeteria, and language bonuses remain almost unchanged for years.

Promotions are scarce.

Some projects are like playing "Mines" on the PC. The wrong project can damage your journey in the company, evaporate your promotion chances, and make you burn out.

The promotion process is hazy, with a lot of people not understanding it.

The company talks a lot about reinvention buzz and tries to leech off the AI hype, but it doesn't seem to be working, and the stock is plummeting. The biggest asset of the company is its people.

I would advise top management to keep the focus on the people, try to motivate them a bit more, and maybe even lower top management rewards and keep that money in the company. Recently, pressures to fire people or get rid of them only incentivized "able" people to leave the company. Those that are lazy to change or feel good there despite low compensation remained.

Just this year, 20% of our project, including people who were most willing to learn and grow, left because they felt frustrated by company compensation (a guy was not compensated due to a freeze) but also by clients' unwillingness to adopt new policies.
