Accenture Malaysia Reviews

No scope for financial development

Politics, limited opportunity for promotions, you could work hard only and still no promotion because of company limits for promotions. Graduates are given lots of opportunity to try new roles, but again are often not promoted for 3 to 4 years. This actually makes it a demotivating workplace. Some managers may not like you. Also, if you’re not on a paid project, you are left your own devices to get assigned to a paid project, otherwise, you may end up being made redundant. Sydney office is too small for the number of employees if everybody wants to work in the office. Sometimes people don’t book a table and there is contention. Unreasonable expectations are placed on employees. First they told to do a good job for the client, and then if you are a manager, you also have to find your own personal time to manage your employees that report to you who may not be on your project, which makes it very difficult to know what they are doing. There is no real employee manager relationship at Accenture. This is an afterthought in the organisation. Employees assigned to managers who they don’t know who have not worked with before, so this makes it really difficult to create a connection and a bond between employee a manager normally, in other organisations you have one manager for the duration of your yet. And bonuses are very limited. It depends on what they head company in the US and the region decide for bonus allocations. When revenue is down, people are scared of losing their jobs. So even if you are a permanent employee, it feels like you aren’t really and always stress that you could be next and be redundant. I’ve seen many people been made redundant in my three years there just because they lose a client or 2 they can’t afford to keep people on. It’s all about making money for the parent company and nothing more. The company just has a really good image to make it a very desirable place to work, especially for graduate who doesn’t have experience and should take the chance to work there, but this also creates a problem because a lot of of the new hires are very inexperienced and they have no one else to turn to for mentorship to develop their technical and personal interpersonal skills to make them a more well-rounded individual. So often you’ll find a person who starts in a technical position and ends up being very technically minded person and doesn’t know how to deal with people or communicate very well or manage their own team. Don’t get me wrong. These people are very nice people. It just that they have never been led or taught on the job on how to deal in situations, especially it makes it difficult when your team is split across different locations in Australia and overseas, including India, Philippines, China, so I don’t think that gives a proper framework to build people and they capabilities. I would only really work there if you really need a job and you can hold out and tolerate these negative issues for a few years to get some experience behind your name because it does look impressive on a resume.

Could have had better leadership

Work pressure sometimes but that is inevitable

Need to build rapport with management for promotion

No or less long term projects

Management is in terms of full filling employee needs Location issues. they won't allow to change location that swiftly even after you have permissions from your project and client

Does not reward people by promoting them even if they are working at the next level

Tight scheduled call on night time as well

Less pay, extra hours, etc
