Openmind, HRC Retail Advisory, Workforce Insight, Cloudworks.... what do you think about acquisitions lately?
Missing the mark
My team and I are struggling to meet our goals because there is one person that is so complacent with his head in the clouds we can seldom get any work out of him. He acts like a know it all, and when he is called on it he becomes spiteful and... — read more
It’s my turn
Over the last few years I’ve watch as a few of my colleagues gave their 2 week notice and as the days progressed they seemed more alive and happy. Each and every one of them smiled and seemed to have a pep in their step again. I can’t wait to feel... — read more
N3 Layoffs - laid off on July 1 2021
Accenture bought my company N3 and was laid off July 1 2021. I was informed that there is a reduction in workforce... Not giving a warning or severance is actually illegal...
U.S. Vaccination Survey - Sneaky? Answer or consequences it seems
What’s up with making U.S. employees divulge their personal vaccinations status with the threat of a “possible reduction to pay increase or variable pay award” AKA bonus? Did anyone else catch that language and the hidden message in the email FAQs?... — read more
What would keep you in this company?
People are leaving Accenture en masse. I don't think more people have ever left this company. The colleagues I started working with, who have been here here for years even when things weren't going well, now are deciding to leave. I just wonder... — read more
Accenture has just acquired the firm I work at. Questions.
The small (~4500 employees) firm I work at has just been acquired by Accenture. I don't work on the engineering or technical side of the business, I am a technical recruiter with a speciality in IT / engineering. From the sounds of it Accenture... — read more
What did it all look like 5+ years ago?
I haven't been here long, but I can't wait to get out of here. I don’t like it at all and I think I made a huge mistake when I accepted the job offer. I could never have imagined that there was so much incompetence at Accenture. Was this a much... — read more
Beware! Lots of empty promises. Be very careful with this misleading "great company culture"...
They hired me in November of 2019 (made me relocate, yes or yes!!), and then laid off me the first day of October of 2020 (so less than a year). I was more than lucky of being able to find another job on January 2021. Lots of empty promises, with not... — read more
do not take PTO!
I took PTO twice in two years- three days between Christmas and New Years, two days at Easter. I was assigned to short term contracts WHILE ON APPROVED LEAVE and received negative feedback from the PM on both contracts for not being involved. I... — read more
Is this happening anywhere else?
In my BU managers are sabotaging other managers, being lied about behind each other’s back and reaching a point where people are being asked not to work with other certain individuals. The worst part is that the managers involved are all incompetent... — read more
Is it a good stepping stone?
This is my 2nd year with Accenture and I’ve been offered a position with another company. Everything from benefits to pay is slightly less and I’m not sure if I want to take the leap. I’m not even sure how long I should stay here before moving on (I... — read more
Who is willing to join Accenture?
I'm always surprised when I see new people have joined the company. And these are not recent college grads who are willing to take on anything , but experienced folks. I honestly thought that our reputation was so bad by now that nobody worth his or... — read more
Working more than ever
While I might be much better off at some other company, I’m happy here because I’m doing a job I love. When you do a job you love, you usually don’t even feel like you’re doing it. Yet lately I’ve been so overwhelmed with work that it’s taken all the... — read more
I want out
I'm at a point where I'd volunteer for a layoff if it was offered. I'm that done with this place.
March 2021 cuts
I've heard there might be some cuts next month, is that true?
Just accepted the job did I make a mistake ?
Hello everyone, I frequent this website to see how a former employer is doing. I had no idea Accenture would be on this site. I keep reading horrible comments about the company. I come from a pretty sh– job (retail) and this will be my first exp at... — read more
Has culture improve any at Accenture?
It was a toxic cesspool when I was there about two years ago. And don't even get me started on the management, I don't think it was possible to get a more useless group if they'd tried. I'm hoping for the sake of those who are still stuck there... — read more
An HR Question...
When a prospective employer runs a background check, does HR tell communicate reasons for leaving (quit, fired, etc.) or just dates of employment? I was fired in September and wondering if I am required to tell them (upon asking why there’s a... — read more
When do we think the next layoff “Notification Day” will be?
The last one was on 9-15-2020, just two weeks into the new Fiscal Year. I don’t suspect they will make any moves before the forced holiday PTO. It will be “Happy New Year!” (calendar that is) and should we expect a big slash on Friday... — read more
Have you been preparing?
Accenture is no stranger to layoffs and I believe it's only a matter of time before the next major round occurs. Nobody is safe, the least of all older and experienced employees. I don't know about you, but I've been preparing for the worst for the... — read more
Is it normal to be ghosted by Accenture HR after final interview??
I would expect a respectful HR to at least send a rejection email with thanks.
605 New Accenture MDs
Let the congratulations fly... Accenture Promotes 605 New Managing Directors and Appoints 63 New Senior Managing Directors. Company achieves its goal of 25% women... — read more
Accenture Layoffs 2021
Do you think there will be Accenture Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?
Anyone else always have an underlying fear/threat of losing their job?
Is this just how the management and culture operates here? It is hard to bring my “best self” to work each day when I am being just about threatened by management
Accenture is the most abusive relationship I have ever been in.
Accenture is the most abusive relationship I have ever been in. Over a decade here. Like a victim of domestic violence, right when you get ready to leave, they convince you that you can’t do any better. After all, this is Accenture, right? The best... — read more
What to expect after the acquisition of Enimbos?
As acquisitions tend to result in job losses in redundant areas, I wonder how many of us will be laid off or maybe shifting roles now that Accenture has acquired Enimbos? I try to think positive but these are very uncertain times and I can’t help but... — read more
I hear more layoffs are coming...
May the next “bottom 5%” be aware that you could be out soon.
All people to complain here - why are you still with Accenture?
It's easy to leave, right?
The brand launch: Let There Be Change
I dunno about this new rebranding thing "Let There Be Change" but I am split of the reality and the future of the situation Accenture is in to now. I am for optimistic developments but on the other side.. there are people that were unsure of their... — read more
Honest management
It s—s that there is so little information available on what's going with the company right now and what are the plans for the future. Personally, I'd rather have transparent management who were honest with us even if that meant knowing I'm slated... — read more
Legal Action Considered or Pending?
Interested to hear of anyone considering or already taken legal action, or are aware of any filings. Particularly from suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases who were subsequently laid off.

Who would have guessed??? This is going to be bad... Facebook moderators employed by third-party contracting firm Accenture and based in Austin, Texas are being forced to return to the office on October 12th, The Verge has learned. Source:... — read more
I truly, absolutely hate working here
This company is nothing but a source of stress for me lately. And I'm not even talking about constant layoffs! It's the overall work atmosphere, it's the toxic culture, the horrible, incompetent managers who like to take all the credit for what works... — read more
Jimmy E calls is “Payroll Actions” AKA Cuts so his bonus is bigger
What an insensitive comment to share to HR professionals. HR at Accenture is a joke and very disorganized and one hand doesn’t speak to the other in unison. Either way, they had to clear out the “low performers” that they force-ranked based on who... — read more
