Pros
  • Good amount of exposure

Accenture is one of the best organizations for a fresher to start their career with. The amount of exposure you get in your early career is the base for it, and Accenture provides that opportunity to build that solid base.

The quality of work is good, and there's a lot of free space to learn if a person wants to.

  • Nice employee policies

The policies are good and help the employee expand their career.

  • Healthy work environment

The work environment is good, and a nice learning culture is followed. The seniors help you learn, as this is one of their KPIs.

  • Helping colleagues

Most of the colleagues are helpful and share their knowledge, helping you grow in knowledge and become independent.

  • Free Transport facility

One of the major positives, employees get free transport facility, which makes it easy to commute.

Cons

10-hour working hours: The official timings are 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Yeah... quite tiring :(

Employees are forced to relocate due to inadequate work at the location (usual for any GGN org.). Once you are working in a project, you are learning and growing. But if you are on the bench and cannot find a project at your desired location, you may be forced to relocate to a different location for some project. It's bad for people who have genuine problems with relocating, but it's good for others. I have seen many colleagues who were unhappy in the beginning but got far better opportunities once they relocated and eventually thanked God that they were relocated forcefully.

Difficult to switch between projects at your will. If you are working in a project for some time and you think that your learning has stopped and you want to switch to a different project, it will be really difficult because every manager wants a stable team and will not encourage you to switch. You may have a hard way trying to switch.

Advice to Management
  1. Be open to feedback and improvement.
  2. Value your key employees and try to genuinely help them grow. Try to make the employees happy instead of making the customers happy. Happy employees will automatically make your customers happy.
