Accenture

No bond, only good for senior positions above senior software developer, such as Solution Architects or managers. That's it.

1. Not great for growth in the initial days for fresh graduates; bad promotion policies for lower career levels (13 to 11). Promotions depend on the number of certificates, not project contributions, and there's no value creation.

2. Less organizational visibility. Your people lead and talent leads are individuals who do not work with you on a daily basis for the majority of the time, so there is no representation for you at the promotion table.

3. I suggest taking a look at its competitors like TCS and Infosys. For the initial days, their career ladders are more useful, with loads of different technologies.

4. Accenture is rigid when you want to work on a certain tech; there's no flexibility. There are no socials or trips; you often get stuck.

5. They ask you to complete unnecessary training that is not relevant to the job or tech you are working in. It's like working on one tech and giving exams for completely different technologies.

6. Some things are really messy in the company; they need to fix this.

7. Bonuses are announced once but then paid semi-annually, so you have the feeling of getting a bonus every six months. This is cheating; you get stuck for another six months because the money is going to come after a long time, which was your reward for the last cycle. The cycle in which the next bonus was supposed to be paid is taken care of.

8. So think carefully before you dive in. HRs are very rude, frankly. Your project PMO teams are really helpful and good.

9. I had a change of managers over three years, so there is no central system to keep track of your tasks. Hence, you again get stuck convincing new managers to represent your work.

10. This is really all that goes on in the company. I highly suggest, if you are a fresh graduate, please consider other options. If you don't have options, then only take up this company.

11. The work-life balance is crazy bad in the company. Well, that is everywhere, but this is intense here. Also, there was a case running against this company for white-collar slavery.

12. The company is really good but only for senior-level jobs above career level 10.

To summarize: No value for new talent.

I suggest taking a look at what is happening at the lower levels in the company and how people are being discriminated against and promoted. Your competitors are better at this.
