Accenture

Worked for Accenture for 5 years, and it has tons of opportunities. But since it is a very big firm, it all depends on what you take away from it, as there are so many projects, teams, people, and demographics.

People are looking for answers like:

• Will I get onsite?
• What will be my annual increment?
• Are there any politics?

All those are case-specific, so don't go by reading reviews here. But overall, it doesn't have bad policies in India (biggest delivery center) like other desi companies.

The HR department sucks to the core in all three areas:

1. Employee Referral: In my entire career of 5+ years, I have never succeeded in getting someone in. The majority of the recruiters are "outsourced consultancy companies" and they only get their people interviewed for commission. The only way would be if you knew any good "Senior Manager" who can hire them project-specific.

2. Getting answers for any query: You will NEVER get an answer. It will keep jumping between various teams.

3. Policies: Same thing, no clear answer.

There should be better "visibility, ownership, and accountability" in HR and Finance teams.

Technology and consulting teams just work fine.
