Accenture reviews

- Horrible work life balance. Many cut-offs in each month, and it is common to work beyond 13 hours on cut-off day. They expect you to come in early, but don't bother if you work in the 2 digits working hours daily. Hence also is common employees will take medication leave after each cut-off due to the stress and long hours. - Despite it is acquired by Accenture, the Chinaman culture still remains. If you know how to lick boots, master the arts of taichi or work extreme long hours anytime/anyday, high chance for you to get promotion and above average KPI. Else, you can stay more than 6 years without any promotion. Most of the upper management here are long time partners who have been working together way before got acquired by Accenture, hence they will always cover up for each other. - Use of proprietary software and framework. Lots of meaningless, time-consuming, manual process to setup or develop the app. Looks ancient, filled with tons of bugs in each and every part of the app. Basically the build quality is bad from top to bottom. Lack use of commercial or widely known softwares. To summarize, you may master the skills here but will not be useful elsewhere. - You will get the vibe that you are unappreciated and dispensable. They expect you owe them, thus you need to do everything that is given without question. No OT or weekend claims if you work to that extent. Oh, no training or certifications are provided as well despite Accenture claimed to promote self-improvement and development. - No team or company events/activites to promote a community atmosphere. Yes, Accenture does have events but that is on a nationwide scale, not within Newspage itself. As everyone is occupied with their heavy workloads, there is lack of opportunities to share ideas or socialize with colleagues. If you do, management or lead might think you are too free or not given enough tasks to complete. - Building condition in extremely bad shape. Lifts constantly in repairs, producing creaking sounds while in motion and occasionally doors malfunction. Irresponsible people smokes within building, fire alarm does not work in certain floors. Not MSC certified, thus internet connection here is a bane too.

Very bad work life balance. If you do not work during weekends, you wont be able to fit into the team culture. For some MDs or Senior managers, you have to bootlick them to get your things done. Very self centered environment. Seniors will not help and you are not allowed to ask questions after your probation period. Those who work longer expect you to work like them so that you as a newcomer will not tarnish the team reputation. Political environment as well. Have to be really careful with the usage of words in your emails and conversations as they will use the words in the content to attack you. When upper management email during wee hours, you have to reply 5-10 minutes in order to make them feel that you are working hard and not sitting on their emails even though the KPI is 2 business days. Usually bosses do not know what their subordinates are doing as they only listen to seniors to provide feedback.
