Pros

Big brand, lot of training available, promotion option is good.

Cons

10 hours of shift, no work-life balance, along with 4 hours of travel on top of that. Accenture's tagline is "work-life balance!!"

No more work from home anymore and mandatory 9.5 hours of swipe-in and swipe-out.

Cost cutting in petrol allowance, onsite opportunities, rumors of introducing a 4-month notice period by the end of 2014.

Policies are only for show. Management is always right, irrespective of whose fault it is. No personal encounter, but I've seen lots and lots in my surroundings.

Lots of training are available, but now I don't get approval to attend as management is scared that people are taking training and moving out of Accenture. So, a sudden drop in training.

Single-digit hike :(

Advice to Management

It was a charm company, and due to certain wrong decisions, people are leaving. Understand: work-life balance is most important because we are human, not machines.
