Accenture Promotion

Promoted to level 09

I am too at CL-11 and got no increment, no hike and very low bonus.

Same, at 11 since Dec 22

Same at 11 since Dec 21.In our process almost more than 10 people waiting for 5 to 7 years. No hikes, no promotions

Accenture is really the worst place to work, I have wasted my 2.5 years working here without single hike

I got promoted around dec 21 on CL11 and still on same level Now I have put my paper and lead is saying stay you would be having promo in next cycle 😄

Accenture promotion cycle 2024 has been shifted from December to June. To align with client planning and budgeting processes, Accenture has made this change. Furthermore, this decision ensured better visibility of demand. Owing to prevailing economic conditions, Accenture had to come up with this decision. Employee’s frustration with not getting promotions is understandable but a company cannot take a decision that may hinder their growth process. Moreover, Accenture is not the only IT firm that is facing an economic slowdown. EY, PWC and others are also dealing with similar situations. Also, there are companies which have laid off employees as a cost-cutting strategy.

If you plan to join Accenture, your first emphasis should be understanding the Accenture Promotion Cycle. You will climb up to CL11 in a year, which is standard timing. You may expect the upper step within 9 months if your performance is excellent. For those at CL 11.2 and CL 11.3 levels, you may have to go through the standard and fast-track SL movements. Suppose you’ve been promoted in December 2022; your next promotion will be due in December 2023. However, due to business sentiments, you missed it. According to the SL movement, your next promotion should fall in June 2024. This is also likely to be missed, as in December 2024, you will again have an annual appraisal. Hence, CL 11.2 and CL 11.3 will likely miss their SL movements as they will receive their hike in December 2024.

A couple of things to understand before we discuss hike and promotion. A sub level movement at CL 11 happens in a year( standard) and fast track( 9 months). However, if someone is at CL 11.3 and CL 11.2, the standard and fasttrack SL movements are applicable. If a promotion happened in December 2022, them the next should have happened in Dec 2023.However, it was frozen last year due to business sentiments. So a SL movement could have been offered in June 2024.I guess this has been avoided as Dec 2024 will be an annual appraisal for all so business avoided giving standard SL movement to CL 11.3 and CL 11.2 knowing the hike has to be given in Dec 2024.
