Does Accenture have a lot of MD hires?
Metaverse Continuum
No one here has commented yet on the launch of the Accenture Metaverse Continuum business group. Any thoughts?
Offshoring is reducing the quality of our products
When you start offshoring engineering work you can expect to see a drop of quality and that's exactly what's been happening here. In the short run, money is being saved but what about the long run? We will start losing customers over this and then... — read more
Where is this company headed?
I try to give leaders the benefit of a doubt to know what they are doing, but it is getting harder and harder to do so.
Should we contact HR?
Several of my colleagues and I have been thinking of contacting HR over a belligerent coworker but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. He's good friends with our manager which is why he knows he can get away with his behavior. Several of us have... — read more
Brutal experience
Most time lost in meetings with huge numbers of unassociated people just to run up the bill on meeting time. At the end of your project they'll blame every 'sin' and missed deadline not matter how trivial you're side committed in order to justify... — read more
Horrible work environment
It wasn't always like this but we're at the point where even people who just joined are looking for a way out. I'm not sure who's going to read this, but if you're considering joining Accenture you should do it only if you don't have any other... — read more
Q2 results
A few more days and we will find out how kind the second quarter of 2022 was to Accenture. Any predictions?
Starting pay for consulting analyst?
Hey guys, what is the starting pay for a consulting analyst in the CDP program? Specifically in Houston, Texas.
Bottom feeders of the industry!
Beware working for them. You’ve been warned. You will suddenly find yourself on the street no warnings no reasons just out.
What happens when Accenture acquires a company?
Accenture acquired the company I work, N3. We are transitioning to Accenture in April. What can we expect? If they did not layoff us, does it mean Accenture will keep us? Accenture was very generous they gave us a bonus of $10,000!
N3 Results Azure small business campaign
I hope that Accenture will focus on this campaign, which is very poorly managed. Managers are foreigners who barely speak English, this is the least important, but they are not familiar with the management of American companies. They are making this... — read more
Stop complaining!
I can't believe some of the posts here. Accenture is not the best company but it is not the worst either. It's a business that pays you for services rendered. That's it. It's not a family. It's not a real being that can "care" about you and your... — read more
How long before Accenture moves all operations to India?
Other than the C-suite, of course.
What would keep you in this company?
People are leaving Accenture en masse. I don't think more people have ever left this company. The colleagues I started working with, who have been here here for years even when things weren't going well, now are deciding to leave. I just wonder... — read more
Look for greener pastures
I'm among those who left in the last six months - and I know there's a lot of us. I landed in a much better situation. I get more money, better benefits, and from what I can see so far a better career path. I am also working with people who don't... — read more
It's become ridiculous
If I told you how much time I was given to complete the task, I believe you would find it ridiculous too. Expectations have become more than unrealistic! I guess it's the manager's way of working me right up to the boiling point, so I leave on my... — read more
A third-rate training ground
Take Accidenture for what it is: a third-rate training ground, where you suffer atrocious management and low salary. And once you have beefed up your salary, time to jump. People make mistake of viewing what Accidenture is. They gobble up the... — read more
Other companies still value knowledge and experience
I've noticed that Accenture is quick to get rid of older employees because they cost more. I guess the leadership is too focused on profits to realize that they are much more valuable than new employees despite being paid more due to the wisdom and... — read more
Replacing great managers with bad ones
This has happened to me and I know it happened to a few more people. Good managers who show respect to their direct reports and who know theirs and our jobs well have been replaced by people who have no idea what we do and how we do it and who prefer... — read more
Work/life balance is getting worse
I thought 60-hour weeks were bad, but now we're up to 80-hour weeks with no time to rest even on weekends! This is not sustainable. They're treating us like we're robots, like they can add as much as they want to our workload and we'll just keep... — read more
We could use some layoffs
As long as they get rid of the right people, we really could use some trimming of the fat. I'm having trouble understanding why we keep hiring more people when there are plenty of those who are just sitting around with nothing to do. Cut them, stop... — read more
Accenture acquired N3 Results last year
I currently work for N3 Results. Accenture acquired us last year. Our transition will be next April. Should I worry about job security? Is Accenture going to transition all employees or they will let some go? Any information you can provide I... — read more
From the top down, we’re prioritizing mental health and well-being
I read this press release. I think it’s great they have hired a Chief Health Officer, but do we really think the company’s most important message to our people is “You matter.” The release mentions “We need to normalize taking care of yourself, and... — read more
Lipstick on a Pig
I’ve spent over a decade at Accenture in NA in many capacities, from client facing Strategy and Consulting to internal HR. Given that people are at the core of this organization, working in HR here has by far been the worst and saddest that time I... — read more
N3 Layoffs - laid off on July 1 2021
Accenture bought my company N3 and was laid off July 1 2021. I was informed that there is a reduction in workforce... Not giving a warning or severance is actually illegal...
Unpaid overtime, no way
I'm not talking about a little unpaid overtime, but a lot of unpaid overtime. They tacitly expect it from me and many others. If I had just come here from university, I might be ok with it, but I have many years of experience in this industry. They... — read more
Accenture Layoffs 2022
Have you heard anything about potential Accenture layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Employment still ending on 11/16 for unvaxed?
Curious if many are expected to end employment on 11/16 here, based on the vax requirement? Assume most have provided vax details. I know some folks who have gotten around the mandate and been accommodated. Some just don’t want the vax but we’re able... — read more
Get Vax or GET OUT
Accenture is requiring employees get the vaccine by November 15th or you’re fired.
I thought that most have already done it
and that it won't be a problem if Accenture mandates vaccination... Now I see that some are even ready to leave because of the vaccination that most other companies will definitely require?
How to escape from here?
I regret ever coming to Accenture. In my case, this is like a curse. Before I came here I had 3 offers and I chose this company. After a few years spent here, I can’t get a solid offer for months now. I feel stuck. What are your experiences with... — read more
The worst work experience
I've been working in IT for the last 16 years. I joined Accenture a year ago and I can tell you with confidence that this is the worst work experience I've had so far. There are so many things that are wrong here, but the one that bugs me the most is... — read more
Turnover
It seems to me that turnover is higher than ever. Are we doomed? Who will replace the top talent that has been lost?
Who is willing to join Accenture?
I'm always surprised when I see new people have joined the company. And these are not recent college grads who are willing to take on anything , but experienced folks. I honestly thought that our reputation was so bad by now that nobody worth his or... — read more
Any N3 layoffs?
Accenture acquired N3 last year. Apparently Is laying off people. If you are from N3 and has been laid off, please let us know.
Any sound advice?
I landed a job here straight out of college years ago. This was my first and I’ve finally decided to venture out and expand on my career since I seem to have hit a wall here. I’ve got a few interviews lined up for the following week and to say I’m... — read more
I've heard there might be some layoffs coming
Is this true or not?
What changes would you like to see?
What changes would you like to see below the “Let There Be Change” tag line? I hope I'm not right, but I'm almost certain that the changes that will eventually happen will be the ones that none of the hard workers want. Time will tell, but someone... — read more
