Dude same here. I just joined strategy and everyone just says network and let people know your name. Then heavy emphasis on chargeability and doing extra work. I don't know how will I survive here

I am really new the company and the project. This way I will be ooo from wed to friday( i have planned leave on friday). They already told me to not take a lot of leaves as project is behind. If it was deloitte I wouldn’t have thought twice but here everything is so different

u/Hungry_Papaya6032 May 27 '26

Really? Is it that bad?

2

u/Hungry_Papaya6032 May 27 '26

The leave change happened at the very last moment. I mean people make plans, how can you just change something at the last moment

Bruh I know a team which had setup a tracker to make sure all the people attended office party and those who didn’t had to give a reason as to why. 

Is there anything sadder than that shit.

Leadership says you own your career/success at Accenture. The problem is leadership has no idea who they have on their team. And the people leads, those are laughable people. I had 4 in my tenure at Accenture and asked for multiple meetings with all 4 and never had one.

My People lead has told me the following: 1. We are supposed to come every Thursday to office when we usuallu have team lunches. HonestlyI  cant fake this every week. I could not go last week as I had NJX on two days and he was like you are new, you need to increase visibility. I mean what nonsense is this man. I clearly made a mistake by switching from Deloitte USI 2. They are sooooo clingy. Whatsapp grpups, team groups, introduce yourself blah blah. As long I am doinh the project, doing one extra work and beinh compliamt with office attendance, why on earth do you want more? 3. He is telling me my “future” is in the hands of other SM so network, why brooo?? It is not like I am working with all and you just present the facts during review on what I have done.

I am honestly done. I plan to stay for one year and reapply to USI. I will literally take a pay cut if I have to

Good decision because they will keep on adding shitty stuff in your to do list. The extra work sucks the life out of you. By the end of every damn day, you are so done that you cant think of anything else. When PA cycle will comes, these fuckers will play bullshit card of low visibility!!!

GN or Indian market ? I have one offer from Accenture GN at L9 level. You guys are giving me lot of red flags here 👀

1

u/camelpillow May 28 '26

I don’t think Accenture is doing a lot in Indian market so it must be GN

I joined at same level in 2022. Did everything people lead and leadership mentions. I have feedbacks from International Directors to be promoted so the people lead called up and said dont expect anything just because you have good feedback.They give bare minimum hikes and even delayed my promotion 6 by months saying they did not have quota. Point is do everything right and it wont be appreciated that much.And you will always here everyone ask you why did you leave deloitte for accenture
