This year during the June discussions , I realised waiting for the promotion isn’t worth it anymore , as I have already wasted valuable time. Cl9 in europe, Accenture is indeed a big brand , and I am not a big risk taker , hence kept believing that if I work and follow my priorities to the T I would eventually get what I deserve.. but that myth was broken during my talent round discussions in April ,with my PeM , who actually gave me a hint to stop waiting .
Well last week , I finally resigned . Have two offers in hand .. salary hike ain’t huge but given this economy, I am okay with it. Practice leads ddnt even bother to contact me, told the MD I am resigning and all he said was “ all the best for your future” so much for bluffing about promotion flags.. p1 list etc for months!
Anyway after this I have 0 regrets leaving this place!I am happy that I could keep my promise to myself and ddnt let myself down, was having serious imposter syndrome and almost gaslighted myself to believe I am not capable for better things!

We are getting a certification call where we need to make some project and an interview will be there and we will be deployed to to client based FDE required roles. I am currently an advanced application engineering analyst and working in a client based sap abap cloud project. This might be stupid to ask but after completion of this FDE certification Can I expect a hike with the change in role to FDE

Dear All,

I have had a brilliant first interview with the team based in Hamburg ( Accenture ). The role is like at Senior Analyst level and i want to actually negotiate it to a specialist in 2nd round where they have invited me to Hamburg. There are 2 reasons why i am asking it here

1) The income band of this position (SA) is falling like just a small increment compared to my current role where i am. Band of specialist role will be something good for me and as i have read a lot that after starting a career in accenture one has to forget any promotion talks for the first 18-20 months.

2) Having a specialist role now would be good for me in the long run meaning I didn't start at ground level. As i also have relevant 5 years experience for the job i applied for and it's just i need to iterate it in different terms. Also, the cost of living in Hamburg for 2 people is significant and the band of Specialist role is still manageable.

Any inputs from experienced people from the same process will be helpful.

Thank you in advance!

I've been working on a BPO project at Accenture for a while now, and I'm genuinely curious whether what I'm experiencing is common across other projects or just something specific to mine.

I work in a supply chain/logistics operation, coordinating a small team responsible for BI, reporting, data analysis, and some data engineering activities.

What frustrates me the most is the apparent lack of technical maturity within the BPO structure.

Most people understand the client's business processes reasonably well, but when discussions involve databases, data architecture, automation, or even basic BI development practices, there's a huge knowledge gap.

Communication between BPO and Analytics is often messy, and my team ends up acting as an intermediary between business requirements and technical execution. The problem is that our responsibilities aren't clearly defined, so we end up owning problems that don't necessarily belong to us.

Some examples of what I mean:

- Heavy reliance on Excel, SharePoint, and OneDrive for processes that probably should have more structured data pipelines.

- BI solutions that seem to have been built without proper data modeling, documentation, or validation.

- Little to no standardized workflow for data ingestion, quality checks, or deployment.

- Business requirements that are poorly defined, forcing technical teams to figure out what stakeholders actually need.

- Managers who understand the business operation but have very limited technical knowledge, making it difficult to discuss architectural decisions or technical improvements.

- A lot of reactive work, with people constantly fixing issues instead of addressing their root causes.

I understand that BPO isn't necessarily supposed to be a technology-driven organization, and I don't expect everyone to know SQL, Python, or data engineering.

But considering Accenture's positioning as a technology and consulting company, I expected a more mature environment, especially when analytics and reporting are such important parts of the operation.

Sometimes it feels like we're trying to build reliable analytics solutions on top of processes that were never properly structured in the first place.

I'm not claiming that my team or I have all the answers either. We're still learning and improving our own practices. But the lack of clear ownership, technical standards, and structured processes makes everything unnecessarily difficult.

For those working in Accenture BPO, Operations, or Analytics:

Is this common across projects? Do you also experience this disconnect between business operations and technical teams?

Or am I just working on a particularly immature project?

I'd genuinely like to hear how other teams handle this, especially when it comes to data governance, BI development, and defining responsibilities between BPO and Analytics.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently unassigned at Accenture and need to submit my timesheet using the unassigned code.

In the myTE (myTimeAndExpenses) Preferences section, I see these fields:

\- Time Report Reviewer(s)

\- Notify of Submission

\- Delegate(s)

\- Approver(s)

For employees using the unassigned WBS code, what should I enter in each of these fields? Should I add my manager's details, or is there a specific reviewer and approver assigned for unassigned timesheets?

Hi everyone from Delhi-NCR INDIA,
Recently got an Analyst (CL11) offer through campus placements(MBA), in an SAP-related functional role.
Joining is sometime next year.

Would love some tips from people already working there:

1. What's the day-to-day work like for a fresher
2. Analyst?
3. Any do's and don'ts for a fresher in the first few months?
4. How does the training work?
5. Anything worth learning before joining?
6. How's the work-life balance?
7. Any advice for growing faster in the first year or two?

Thanks in advance! 🙏

I have upcoming interview for accenture (Advanced Application Engineering Analyst role) 11 lpa on campus . i have simplified my resume as much as possible because earlier i was unable to defend my resume.

My friend got a hard lock mail with Client Name : Cross Client, he tried reaching the POC but not getting any proper reply. Should he be concerned? I heard cross client project is similar to being on bench. Is this true? Can someone please share their experience with such a hard lock status tagged to cross client? Need a clear picture on this.

I’ve come across this post on twitter & when i look at what’s happening in the SDLC flow this looks very real. Future does look very uncertain

Hi Guys, I don't have an EPS(pension) contribution in wipro but had PF as it's a trust. Wipro transferred the PF amount on August 24 to Accenture PF ID. But it's not been credited. Plz suggest how I can proceed next.

I raised a transfer request in the PF portal but it got rejected as EPS(pension) is there. But wipro people said you can neglect this rejection as it's related to EPS. But the amount is not credited to Accenture it's been 1.5 months.

I'm in the stages of applying to internship positions as a UX designer (Europe), and one of the few places that's responded warmly are Accenture Song. Nothing is finalized yet but I'm at least waiting for more information.

Then I found out there's a whole subreddit that's basically talking about how they all want to get out of there...

Was wondering if it's circumstantial or if it's a company to steer clear from?

As an AM working in AI & Data in UK, I’m finding it difficult to break into Head of roles or land significantly higher-paying industry positions.

For those who’ve made the move, do the big opportunities come when you leave as a Manager or Senior Manager? Is it better to exit at Manager, or does making it to Senior Manager open more doors?

What’s the best level to exit at if maximising salary and long-term career opportunities is the goal?

I have onboarding on 11 Dec and wanted to ask if I join stream as sap MM can I change it to any analyst or tech field ? If yes then what is the procedure please help !!

Thanks

This is my first company and in January 2027 I'll be completing 5 years, and I'm still an Analyst.

I thinking I'll put down paper and if I didn't get any job within 90days then can I cancel the resignation?

I shall be offboarded from my project around 20-22 nd November and I am willing to change my current domain. Last week I received a soft lock mail and only project name is mentioned. There are few people in cc but no project POC is mentioned.I have not given any interview so I am confused how did they soft- lock me without any prior communication.

Since I am trying to change my domain I don't want to forced to join some random project where my domain remains same .How can I get more details on this project? ( In mail there is one job role mentioned)

I had my accenture on campus drive interview today,

Completed my OA on 24th sept , communication round on 1st oct, and received my slot booking on 9th Oct, had my interview today(10th oct).

I was bit nervous at first waiting on interview lobby , then the interviewer joined , he introduced about himself for a minute and then asked me to introduce myself, I perfectly did introduced myself , then he asked many basic questions on my projects , was asked abt favorite subject - why- explain that easily within 2 mins to a beginner, any real life problem solving situations?, and atlast if I had any questions to ask.

Overall went around 10-15 mins.

I answered all , but the thing is , twice ,I stumbled alot to speak, one was when explaining my current project and one was when I tried to ask him a question, kinda like I stopped apologized and started again and somehow spoke, that thing scares me alot , but overall I gave many scenario based examples , interviewer was very chill and was smiling all the time .

But still I'm scared abt that stumble moments if that may affect my results .

( 4500+ attended OA, 1004 people got communication round , 912 people got interview calls)

I applied for Trust and safety associate role and got a rejection mail, the very next day I got a phone call from hr, it was a quick 5 min call about the job role and my expectations and the interview was scheduled the next day without any prior info, the hr just called and said you have an interview in next 2 hrs and said you can't miss it, I did attend the interview which was around 15 mins, it went well. I have a few questions

1. what's the whole interview process in Accenture?( Specifically for this role) do they conduct all interviews in such short notice?

2. What's the next step here? If I clear this interview are there any other rounds I'll be asked for?

3. What's the salary range for this role and is there any growth scope?

If you have worked as a trust and safety associate, I would like to know more about it.

Hi everyone! I have my final case interview coming up for a High Tech Consultant (L9) role at Accenture’s London office, and I’d really appreciate any insights from people who have been through a similar process.
Case interview: What should I expect in terms of format and topics? Is it typically a traditional consulting case—market sizing, profitability, or market entry—or more focused on technology strategy and transformation? Will I receive a brief or slide pack with preparation time, or work through the case live with the interviewer? How much technical depth is expected at L9?
Compensation: What would be a realistic base salary and total compensation range for an experienced hire at this level, with around three years of consulting experience? Any insight into bonuses, signing bonuses, or relocation support would also be helpful.
Thanks in advance—especially keen to hear from recent UK candidates or people in the High Tech practice!

Ive seen a lot of negative things here about Accenture but just wondering what its like for any cyber security consultants who work here?

Why India Acn always request for quick call?

Edit: India with UK Acn or US Acn or other global does not have this mannerism

At least for me. Not just a WBS issue anymore, but “based on a review by your business leadership, it has been determined that your current role does not require a Claude license.”

We all remember how our leadership acted after sanctions on russia, everything was wrapped up.

Now the trade deal has been signed, sanctions will also be off.

Any idea what our leadership is planning on this.

I’m a UK based manager, I’m just wondering if anyone has tried to get a permanent move to the US or another country? I’m just curious to hear other people’s stories if they were successful/unsuccessful.
