1. No direct client exposure in 9 out of 10 projects. Concept is that , if a guy is working for a client in France from Bangalore, then Accenture (France team) is that guy's client. The guy has no visibility to the actual client in France. The onsite team(Accenture , France) deals with the client directly.
2. Because of point (1) there is very very less onsite opportunity. Since Accenture(France) team has direct client exposure. No need to send people from India. It is not only applicable for Accenture,France but across all global locations. Accenture has a global presence.
3. Very low end work sent to Accenture, India. Design work is done by the onsite-team/client(eg Accenture, France) . Only implementation is done in India.In most of the time the guy sitting in India has no idea for what reason a code needs to changed.
4. As a result of points (1,2,3), career growth is limited and freshers are largely affected in their initial career.
5. In many cases ,supervisors are not technically sound. When there is no client specific work, they ask to do something on which they themselves do not have a clear idea just to keep people engaged.
6. Salary is dissapointing. (for people joined as a fresher and till next 3 years). Good for laterals.
7. Promotions and ratings are more dependent on project budget than on credibility. If there is a project budget to promote 2 people in a project from SE to SSE and there are 3 eligible people equally credible, only 2 will be promoted. But if there are only 2 people and both not at all worthy, still both will be promoted.
8. No 360 degree feedback process. A global employee survey takes place every year for namesake.
