Accenture

Good library, facilities are good.

They have an every-year 5% firing policy. If you are in a small project or a new joiner, beware; your job is at risk.

I joined a project where there were 3 people in my team and the project strength was 70. The first year, the lead analyst was gone; I didn't check the reason. The next year, a subcontractor was gone; I didn't check the reason. They bought 2 graduate freshers and asked me to train them. After 3 months, the manager came to me and asked, "Why are they not performing like you? Are you not giving proper training?" I replied, "How can they perform like a 4-year experienced person? It will take at least one year."

Next October, I got a C rating. I checked with the manager. He said, "We have to declare 5% as C; now it's your turn." I sent an email to HR with all the appreciation emails received from the client. HR said, "As per the process, arrange a meeting; we will see." I said thanks and moved out of the company before they asked for a PIP.

Problems:

• They want to run all projects with freshers at a lower cost.
• Every year, 5% must be declared as non-performers. If you are not good with your manager, it's a gone case.
• Some people who joined initially settled well. To follow the 5% firing policy, they will recruit and fire. You will see huge openings every year because of this reason.

They know what they're doing. It is not good for employees.
