Accenture reviews

Job security also means you'll be stuck here for the rest of your lives if you don't develop any other actual skill sets to survive outside. Don't be surprise with surprises Made scapegoat for someone else's mistakes, being stab by your own manager/cc/hr/colleagues, well, logically reasons are not needed; who cares the project going on since the ice age & you just joined. Don't create problem OK? Just go with the flow. Laughable. Project handovers are terrible or virtually does not exists. Worst if you need to work with parasites who somehow still in the project but does not know a thing. You are the new so-and-so? Here's everything(far from it of cause), don't ask me anything. kthxbye. Performance review is a farce, doesn't matter what you do if you are not among the selected & favorites, as well as in chosen projects. Nepotism is alive & well here. Stable projects will be taken from you & passed to others. No thanks for the work, but all credit goes to others. Unhelpful colleagues/co-workers - yep, these kind of people forget everything, completely washed hands after leaving the project. A lot of vultures will attempt to profit from your mistake (most are by far inherited from previous person). e.g. blame. Teamwork is demanded - but not practiced by the demanding person. Shoe shiners, yes man aplenty. Out of scope work - jobs that are supposed to be other person responsibility are passed to you. Do you enjoy extra no pay job? If you speak out, then you are a troublemaker, else you'll constantly be bullied here. Overly brilliant ideas - Do everyone involved in the project (e.g. 10 persons) need to wait for 1 person to do deployment? The answer is yes here. Career progression is very dim, due to most people on top will never move till end of time or until their house of cards collapse on them. Plus they do not allow you to transfer to more "pleasant/bearable" divisions within Accenture. Leadership qualities almost not exists, only misuse of authority & threat. Ideas are dismissed by management who asked for them in the first place, what a joke. Managements have no direction or ideas, only what to each for lunch & dinner, and snake away another day. General lack of competence - yes, the quality of work is bad, terrible, whorible (no pun intended) in all department. Issues inherited since ice age are repeated. Some management hardly have any basic domain knowledge in the first place. Graveyard - Generally, this is the place other divisions of Accenture will sent to retire permanently early (most lasted between 1 week to 1 month) You are all most welcomed to experience the "experience" of your life.

Senior manager generally cares more about their own P&L than actual client needs. They will definitely try to push business to customers based on their recent experience. - Silo mentality. Accenture Strategy, Accenture Management Consulting, Accenture Technology compete with each other for same clients. Same goes for senior management. - Huge amounts of time selling instead of delivering. - Staffing is based on pecking order and favoritism. No Godfather = no staffing. Also based on prior projects, so end up pigeon-holed and specializing on early projects. - Stingy expense policy, spartan office. - Each country is quasi independent, except for Singapore that does some cross selling. - Promotions are primarily based on politics. Eg. Banding processes is quite subjective - Singapore office mostly comprised by non-southeast Asian foreigners with limited knowledge (and local business connections) of the regional market. - Pretentious colleagues within Strategy division. Most Strategy people would refuse to talk to non strategy people. - Deficient on-boarding process. Prior experience outside of consulting is not valued. - No systems in place to on board experienced hires and/or working parents. - Want to hire MBAs and yet don't value their experience. Very few MBAs overall. - Slower career path that other firms (eg. 3-5 years per role). - Lack of strategy projects, most of staff on the bench. Some of strategy staff has never been staffed in strategy projects. - High attrition rates. ~30% per year
