Accenture

Good people in the lower ranks. Good company brand. 😆

Being in Accenture has really taught me a lot about survival of the fittest in a bad workspace. I never believed in devolution until I witnessed it firsthand here, with the apes at the top and the gorillas in management.

The amount of false promises made was ridiculous, from HR, my department, and my project. Typically, management has two faces on the same coin: a public and a private one. I had one manager who was an angel when an MD was around but then would devolve in front of my eyes to a lunatic when they were gone. No amount of reporting this person did anything; in fact, they got a promotion after an investigation was led against them.

The company loves to tell you that you'll be able to realign roles. The reality is, though, that your career aspirations will not be achieved in this lifetime or the next. This is because all levels of management are incentivized to block their talent from moving.

Every time your exit date approaches, the date will be pushed back without your consultation. The excuse? This resource is too important.
