Accenture Reviews in New Delhi, India Area

Pros

Being in the Consulting-Services part of the company , the perks , face time with senior management and other peers was great. There were long hours ..... yes ..... it was a pain , but some how it was worth it. Work was challenging but ... could have been better.

Cons

The senior manager and managers are so full of ego , have a tendency to favor their elite set of colleagues or friends who they have worked with earlier. The managers in their eagerness to lower project costs , dont allow relevant admissible benefits to employees which is present in the company policy. One senior manager was so callous as to threaten employees with termination if they could not get job done , which they are not trained to do.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat all employees with respect and fairness they deserve. Listen to your own colleagues before you decide on a course of action

Pros

I believe Accenture is a great brand to work with, inspite of its size the company is quite nimble and still provides ample opportunities to grow.

Almost everything is great about the company expect some minor issues.
I would highly recommend Accenture especially for SAP professionals and Management Consultants

Cons

Accenture at India doesn't have great IT support department / infrastructure especially working with IT department for small issues also gets very time consuming.

Office timings are pretty long in India 8.30-6.30

Advice to Senior Management

Management should look at reducing office timings and concentrate in nurturing Indian talent for long term benefits. Company should provide more client facing roles to offshore guys.

Pros

The brand name is great
Good learning opportunities if things fall in place, well
Senior Management is very helpful and a good listener
Gurgaon center is still growing, so good to grow with the organization

Cons

Gurgaon center has very less projects, limited choice of work
Pay packages vary like anything among similar level positions
Middle management isn't that effective

Advice to Senior Management

Please bring in a 360 degrees feedback process.
Try focusing on the middle management recruitments. A lot of undesirable environment gets invited just because of few bad recruits/employees.

Pros

- Well if you enjoy pure politicking and playing dirty office gossip this is the place to be
- Will give you exposure to average level/below average level Mgmt Consulting work

Cons

- Politics - high level especially in India Domestic Practise and even now in their Global Talent and Innovation Center
- Unmeritocratic
- Rotted and corrupted till the very top in leadership

Advice to Senior Management

Forget it as these are the guys who are responsible for all the mess. Do you think they would let the golden goose go?

Pros

Brand Name used to be very good.
Good Paymasters
Now influx of some stupid politician types have deteriorated the whole setup.

Cons

Beaurocratic setup
You can be sent to any place away from your base location without considering whether you have kids studying in school or spouse employed in the city.
No respect for individuals only designation.
Too much of chamchagiri.
Will make yoy unemployable after staying here for some time.

Advice to Senior Management

Wake up sid...:) if brand is to be preserved. Market perception is already hit badly. Try reducing the policies, levels in the work force...so many incompetent employees are there..

Pros

Extensive online knowledge repositories and domestic business

Cons

The recruitment team in Gurgaon is a bunch of non trustworthy people who will make several unfulfilled promises.
Work is low quality - especially in GTIN.
BUttering Managers - most hierarchial organisation ever - car parking available to managers only
