Hi folks, Currently I am Senior Consultant (JL5A) in Infosys. CTC 17.5 L. Tech stack: Salesforce. YOE 7 I have an offer from Accenture for Job level 9 (Tech consultant). CTC offered is 30% hike. I have good ratings, RSU and decent work life balance in Infosys. Is it worth it to switch? Is the role offered in Accenture good as per my current role?

While Accenture strives for an inclusive workplace, there are concerns regarding gender bias against men in certain aspects of the office culture. This bias can manifest in various forms, such as assumptions about traditional gender roles or limited opportunities for male employees to excel in certain areas. Addressing these biases is crucial for creating a truly equitable environment where all employees feel valued and supported regardless of gender.

Hi All, Recently I got an offer from Accenture ( Kolkata location) in Data & AI vertical. I was interviewed in tech stacks like GenAI, AI&ML. Currently I am working in Deloitte USI and have around 6.5 yrs of experience. I am up for promotion as well but my promotion was denied this year. Not sure what will happen next year. I want to know how's the project in this vertical and job security, wlb in Accenture. Also in the offer letter variable component is mentioned from 0-27%. How's the variable scenario in Accenture. Need your honest opinions. Accenture is giving me 25LPA fixed. Is it a wise option to switch? Thanks in advance.

I joined CN with some hope to do strategy work after working for long in the Tech Consulting space. But here the work is pathetic and doesn't even come close to the work I used to do earlier. On top of that so many teams by industry , functions and whatnot and such cut throat competition of staffing and credit. What is this madness. All the people who are long timers here have totally no skillset , I can't fathom how they have survived so long here .

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

As expected, with below par FY23 results , Accenture India have announced no base pay increase this year and considerably low bonus at all levels. High accumulation of top levels, high stakes acquisitions last year and some failed decisions are leading to this state where employees are getting financially impacted. While rest of the IT companies in India are seeing inclined growth, and sharing good increments this year (Wipro etc) , Accenture has decided to compromise on employee attrition.

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped. Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer. The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues. Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

Hi All, I have cleared the final round of interview with Accenture and I was told i will get a call from HR for further process but today I received a regret mail from Accenture stating they are unable to process my application due to not meeting the expected compensation. At the initial stage they asked me for the expected CTC I mentioned a 60% hike, but I am ready to negotiate. Without discussing they sent regret mail, how should I approach HR to negotiate or is my profile completely rejected?
