Bench scenario at Deloitte India

Is anyone on the bench period for a long time ? I have been talking to people who are on the bench for quite some time(months) and not getting any project calls.

I have released from my current project today at EY, I am currently on the bench. How long I should wait to get the next project. Any suggestion how to get that.

I quit Deloitte after 4 years of excruciating pain. Here's why? The concept of bench will literally kill your confidence the most. If you know how to beg then you will succeed here because if you don't beg for projects then they will definitely lay you off. I was always a bright student in college and chose Deloitte because of the brand name but if I had known that once I was hired, I would still have to find jobs every day, I would have never joined this hell. This is utterly ridiculous. I have now joined an early stage startup which has been the best decision of my life. Deloitte is literally the worst company ever. There were a couple of seniors who used to say the most hurtful shit to me whenever I used to go to the washroom. These Indian seniors always harass freshers while the American teams are usually much nicer and respectful. Don't throw your youth away in the name of earning a few bucks.

Hi all, What is the maximum bench policy in Accenture?

i recently joined EY India LLP as a senior tech consultant 2 months back, I'm still on bench and appeared in 4 client interviews but unable to crack. I'm feeling a bit insecure now. Do I need to start looking outside? Or I'm safe on the bench?

It has almost been 18 months since I have joined TCS. I was on the bench for a total of 5 months in the beginning, and finally got a project. I went to the office and my manager told me that it would take few days for document verification and security clearance. I was coming to the office daily but had nothing to do. I was getting anxious since I was just watching Youtube videos for almost a month. I wanted WFH but when I asked they said I had to come to office even if I had no work. Finally, I got a KT from someone working on the project. I came to realise that I was doing work that even a 9th class student can do. The problem? 5 people were doing this work. The problem? I was working 30 minutes a day. I had to come early to the office, login using my seniors login creds and do timepass work. I have to send an email to our point of contact at the client side that the work is done at the end of the day. I have learnt nothing here. I feel that these companies are just too inefficient. I am planning to leave ASAP now. I have learnt nothing and I am scared that I will not find another job because I have the Years of Experience but no skills. This is how IT companies destroy your career. Now I am doing DSA to get into another company.

Hi. I’m from WITCH and currently on bench although I’ve cleared all the certifications but have not been assigned to any project. I recently got a call from ThoughtWorks and the HR asked me if I have worked on projects and I said NO and then she asked me if I have been on bench I said yes. My question is what do I say in this scenario? As I want to exit the company because there are no projects, and the other company wants hands on experience.

My friend has Canada work permit visa which was processed from Cognizant. But due to lack of role in the current account, he is getting released. Is there a chance that he can be asked to forcibily resign, if he does not get any project in Canada within 1 month?

I am on bench since 2.5 months. Most of the positions for which my profile was shared with is put on hold. I am regularly visiting the RMG and I am regularly following up with the managers with whom my profile was shared with. 2 accounts rejected me after Client Evaluation due to mismatch in skills. I have 4 YOE. Have heard stated rumors stating that TCS is planning to lay off benched folks after the elections. Not sure how far it's true.
