Do they have ANY success stories?

>tfw I worked at one of those consulting companies on a project with millions of lines of code but not a single unit test, and 10k+ loc SQL stored procedures
Granted, it was written by another of those sweatshops to begin with, but not a single test was added later on anyway.

I have a chance to work for accenture, should I? Hear it pays well but lot of travel

i would do it

If you're smarter than most people there (not hard), and can play the corporate game, you can get ahead and make decent bank.

You will burn the fuck out though, and eventually go somewhere more relaxed and less uptight.

Source: I work with a lot of accenture burnouts.

>Accenture severely understated its problems with the FED code. After Hertz replaced Accenture, an assessment of that code revealed that Accenture’s FED code was so badly written that it could not be remediated. Accenture’s replacement discarded it entirely

kek

how many whores and coke gets passed through in the office?

can confirm, worked there for 5 years, mostly on SAP projects, before running for my life

not that kind of company user

> In 2019, Fortune magazine named it as the world's most admired Information Technology Services company.

Wasn't this the company that changed its name after 9/11 ties were noticed? Or was that another one... I'm thinking of the one with purple logo.

I know for fact they convinced at least one company to switch from MySQL to MS Access, so I guess they're bringing much-needed darwinism to the corporate sphere.

>SAP
you have my sympathy

their branch is next to my campus. they often host hackathons and give pizza to participants. pretty good pizza and exercises are simple enough to do but i have a feeling they don't want to see me there anymore lol.

Consulting is big. You're a company that needs skill X? Just consult it out.
KPMG and Delloite outsource fucking management

That's why teams have functional analysts (read manual testers) to test new and old business requirements. It's genius because it makes the project more profitable for the company as it charges the client more. So why cover your back with unit tests when you get paid more to manual test?

trips of truth

They are pretty successfull in burning money. They are also good in taking the blame for fucked up projects which is every project involving accenture. We canceled like 3 projects with them in the last year with zero outcome. I can't really blame them it's our managers buying their services again and again.

These, don't forget
Delloite (Toillete), Bearing Point, Artos, and lots of several-hundred-employers companies that strive to be the same kind of cancer.

recently accepted employment with them, in Australia

what am i in for?

MBAs

long hours
shit technologies
awful management
more managers than actual developers
delivering unfinished software
etc

Actual accenture employee here, don't work for them.

literally who?

back to your containment board, runt

eh? this is the only board i visit

Shitty consulting company with like half a million pajeet employees.

Heard only bad things about them.
I got a job with them but bailed after hearing bad things and after them being absolutely unprofessional in the recruiting process.

First interview in the first days of October, second interview at the end of October.
>"You are most certainly taken, we will call you back in a few weeks to finalize the process"

Didn't hear from them for two months, they call me 24th of December at 17.30 asking me to start in a week.
In a completely different city.
Without time to find an accommodation or organizing anything.
For 1200€/month in the most expensive city of the country, where just for rent you have to spend 600+ €
I kindly told them to fuck off, got a better paying job in my city with an entirely better work ethic.

c-cute

>rent you have to spend 600+ €
HAHAHA IMAGINESPENDING THIS LITTLE ON RENT

FUCK

>Toillete
Haha I work at Deloitte, we have good specialists but it depends on the country.

i really wanna knwo wihch country tho

Is this Portugal?

imagine spending half of your salary on rent

You do know that some countries have 600€+ rent but the minimum wage is even less than that right? It might be little for you but not for the people living there.

romania?

I spend less than that in Amsterdam, which is one of the more expensive cities in Europe.

some pajeet at Accenture threw a more than month long fit about paying a bill from my organisation, because our billing information changed and they wouldn't believe it was actually legit
we're a small nonprofit-like thing that got a sponsorship agreement with them so all of our emails are basically just mailing lists and we always use our own emails to respond to anything we get on there
both us and our non-pajeet contact person tried to explain this, but English isn't sufficient to communicate with them
ended up having to send confirmations from three separate domains, despite their stated policy being that a forwarded e-mail chain or two separate confirmations are sufficient

I'm not even surprised

yeah but that guy's city prolly doesn't have as many nonwhtes

I got offered programmer/consult job there (I guess they call all hires consults hurr). Went to interview out of curiosity as usual and I swear to God Jesus that never have I witnessed such living avatars of caricatyre small-souled bugmen in my life. Pay offered wasn't even that great but advantages would have been admittedly.

one of their dudes left that company and now they work for us.

What the second anão said. This sounds too much like Lisboa/Portugal. Especialmente considerando a posição da Accenture na consultoria aqui.

I have worked there. Money is good if you are in the US. Travel stinks. All consulting companies seem to be exactly the same. I'd talk shit, but they do as well or better than anyone else...in that size category. Sometimes I feel that it's not the Accentures of the world fucking up IT, it's the companies that hire them. If had my own IT in a fortune 100 company, I would skip the offshore/outsourcing model, and only use consultants for staff augmentation when it made sense. 10 good programmers can out produce 100 shitty ones. Also, imagine the shit projects the consultants get. Working in a bank with trillions in assets or at the world's largest...whatever, is super lame when every department in IT is staffed by different consulting companies. Need a new API on a legacy system? Let's bring in the Cognizant team that was shitting in the street 3 months ago to tell us why it cannot be done, or that the turn around time is 9 months. But how will the API leverage the MDM from IBM? We should bring those guys to the meeting too, so they can fill us in on the many shortcomings of their product. Don't worry, much of it will be fixed in Q2 next year. Outsourcing, and the bean counters who forced it on us, have made their own bed. It is karma. You wanted top results from programmers making $20 a day? Enjoy your 4 million dollar piece of shit.

isn't this health insurance or something?

Every one of their projects?
You don't think 'success' is measured by the end product do you? It's measured by how much money was made.

Accenture, like IBM - makes hand over fist.

Arthur Fucking Andersen

I want to work here. As a Canada fag I have just given up. Deioitte sources out of the states for some reason. Well mostly cause idiot clients will pay travel.

In my city, they accept everyone. Even if you dont have an IT major. Fucking Psychology graduates com here

when i was there i met history and philosophy graduates

complete fuckups, probably sons of important clients

literally who?

Arthur Anderson had a name change competition probably 14 or 15 years ago - 'Accenture" or Accent on the Future was the winner.
AA were / are Management Consultants - Masters Of the Universe as some like to call them.

Successfully persuade companies to outsource IT to their cheaply paid pajeets

Arthur Andersen made history with Enron, they'll be case study for years to come

Why woukd you burn out though? Is it dealing with Pajeets?

Software artisans rise up!

What role did AA actually play in the incident?

I'd like to see her gigaflops

I applied, they wanted someone with 8 years workday experience. I wrote one integration with workday and a bunch of others. They were really adamant about 8 years of workday. Bitch if someone spent 8 years on that shit they are retarded.

Actually starting my job with Appirio today, hear its a lot better.

Let me guess, italy?

Winner
Italy, Milano

Might as well be Spain for that salary (except here they hire mostly through a software factory, Coritel). Weird that they pay so shit, I thought Milan was an expensive city.

>CapGemini
I almost ended up working there. How big of a bullet did I dodge?

>Weird that they pay so shit
not the user you are replying to, but tech salaries in Italy are generally horrible. The average salary is about 25k euros per year, and that's before taxes.
>I thought Milan was an expensive city.
it fucking is, see pic related.

Ex-Accenture here.
I thought only MY country's branch and project was shit.
Well. So glad I'm out.

Stay away from big software consulting, it's a cheap labor scam.

Exactly. Accenture's business model isn't about providing quality products, it's about squeezing millions out of gullible retards in government and corporate middle management.

>tfw earn 2.6k€/mo after taxes
I am the IT director tho, also every single shit I interviewed wants 2k net per month.

Almost fell for the underpaid work @ Accenture meme. AMA

Wtf, that's what I earn as a programmer intern in scandinavia

What in the fuck man, I earn that net as a finance intern

Where do you even live that uses EUR and is that bad?

What do u mean

fuck those pajeets to the deepest pits of hell. I am stuck working with one of the data that they processed and it is toilet worthy and all over the fucking place not adhering to a single principle of database management. fuck them reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

could be Bulgaria or Poland or something

Really miserable hours. Absolutely atrocious middle management. Source: worked with them for two years and left

pajeets can burn you, in my division of around 10 people or so, there is only a single pajeet and he is burning everyone up because the owner is kvetching and doesn't want to hire a proper team lead and he is settling for pajeet due to cheap price.

A small price to pay for not living in Scuckdinavia.

Classic

If you don't mind travel and (potentially) long hours it can be good for your career to give it a couple years. Looks good on your resume and even if you quit after 6 months you can just tell future employers you "just didn't enjoy the travel as much as you thought".

How? You share 20m2 room with 20 people?
There is absolutely 0 available below €1000

>these fuckers got 32 mil and couldn't be assed to deliver a website and an app
brb, changing career to consultant

I work at Accenture.
I can tell you one thing: Do not work at Accenture.

BTW: What are Jow Forums's opinion on Accenture's microsoft jewing IT sister; Avanade?

You have travel ALOT to get anywhere in the company

You get nothing of it though.
They charge the client €640 a day for me.
I receive 31000 a year, gross. With a lot of unpaid overtime and cocksucking. 40h weeks (paid), 50+ actual.

Maybe it's different in the US but here it doesnt happen for most clients. Only to the same client every week maybe. Every damn week in the same hotel for a few days for months, that kind of thing.
Only flew to a sorta pajeet country once for them, which was nice. But that was for the client. You can get lucky with clients. Also totally unlucky as they just push you to do whatever they want. (Or you quit, which happens a lot)

I can imagine sales or something flying a lot? And MD's or whatever.

why are you still there?

Getting some time on my CV with a big name client. Also I got lucky with some colleagues in the current project, I really like them personally. When I leave this client I will leave as well. I got better offers on linkedin.
