Pros

The salary was decent. The office was nice.

Cons

Working at Accenture was the darkest period of my life, taking a toll on both my mind and body. Colleagues were extremely unsupportive. Whenever problems arose, people would shift blame relentlessly, doing everything they could to pin mistakes on someone else. This created an environment where you had to be constantly on guard, worrying about whether you would be blamed for something. There was no guidance. My manager was utterly incompetent, incapable of providing any clear direction, which meant I learned nothing. There was no one to confide in about work challenges because, again, there was always the fear of being blamed. Senior staff would only smooth things over without addressing real issues, making me question whether the problem was with me. There was absolutely no sense of humanity or care.

Pros

Wfh most of the time (only RTO once every 2 weeks ] Mobile / internet claims up to RM200/ month Flexi Benefits up to RM4k/ year 1 month sign on bonus Up to RM300 transport claims to/from office

Cons

High turnover rate (8 out of 23 resigned in the past 2 months ], mainly due to career progression / increment issues and uncertainty given by new management. Manager not residing in KL interfering with KL team’s RTO schedule That manager also forced a new joiner into mental distress by manipulating them, constantly forcing them to relocate to KL despite they are willing and actually travelling to office during RTO days That manager also complained to HR saying this new joiner is manipulative etc, framing this new joiner and trying to make them not pass their probation Funny thing is, this manager doesn’t even go to office in his location but he’s trying to make people in KL go into office more often when he doesn’t even live in KL Low bonus Little to no increment/ promotion / career growth

Pros

Benefits Pay Employee stocks Remote work options

Cons

I once loved this firm, but everything began to fall apart when Jimmy Etheredge and Christie Smith "retired" from the firm. Julie Sweet announced 19,000 people will be laid off from corporate functions and replaced by resources from lower cost jurisdictions. After the initial purge, client serving groups were similarly slashed through performance reviews and bench time. Do not misunderstand these eliminations as being a Jack Welchian sort of meritocracy - these eliminations were corporately mandated and executed based on political biases. The even promoted someone from manager to senior manager, and then promptly laid them off because that was the target group for eliminations for that particular practice. According to some in the know, the net result is approximately reduction in staff rather than the mere 19,000 replacements. The firings have been a disaster as some of the reviews have mentioned. The offshoring is not a replacement in kind - it is very much a cheap substitution. Some people who were fired were rehired because management could not find a replacement. Middle management is not doing much better than their corporate overlords. They are given scripts for every conversation, and will not provide any information beyond the script. In some instances, they are actually insulted by thoughtful questions asked by their subordinates, and they just repeat the non applicable scripted responses.
