In Accenture there's 2 popular division which is:
1. Consulting
2. Solution Workforce (SWF)
To enter Consulting, you must have these criteria:
1. Graduated from Overseas from top universities (or Local universities with good results also can - but i believe they have quota)
2. Speaks English very well
3. Pleasant looking
So its very hard to enter Consulting honestly because only gods know what is their requirement. The pros is, your starting salary is pretty high compared to other consulting firms (PWC, EY, others) and, you definitely learn alot. Come on, you are freshies don't expect to go back at 5 lah. If you don't want work late, go work with the government. The main key points you should consider to work with Accenture Consulting Malaysia is the experience that you will received, and also the salary is OK OK.
Secondly, the Solution Workforce. To enter SWF is pretty easy, local universities are most welcome. You'll received the same experience like the Consulting folks. Name it. Now the draw back it, with the equal number of work compared to the Consulting folks, your salary is HALF from what the Consulting folks received. They said its the industry standards which i don't understand? Other than salary, i also realized the Consulting folks usually look-down towards those SWF folks. Maybe because these Consulting folks feels "glamour" and proud" to enter the Consulting compared to those un-lucky SWF. So, i conclude the draw backs is the HALF salary compared to Consulting folks, and you have to prepared to accept the racist given by the Consulting folks (the Manager from Consulting would do the same as well FYI). Blame the entry criteria.
Conclusion, only work in Solution Workforce IF you did not receive any job offers. Last resort. Or else, ready to face the racism and low-wages salary.

QUOTE(fletcherwind @ Jul 24 2013, 12:11 PM) Racism only applies if they discriminate the SWF workforce because of race. This doesn't seem to be the case. I guess what you meant was that they have a holier-than-thou attitude, feeling more superior than their SWF peers. While your argument on the "work done" by SWF members and the CWF members are the same, output might be the same but the differences between the candidates based on what you've mentioned in the first three points might warrant a different pay scale. It is important to have more exposure, speaks better english, ok... i'll ignore the third point for now... in the consulting world. They would be seen as candidates with better capabilities and better potential than their SWF peers. This is speaking in general, I bet you have some SWF members who can perform as well as CWF members. To add up, CWF folks also given more opportunity to leading a team or owner of a module or anything that can put their name on the Lead terms. Is it because, CWF is performing better than SWF? Not really. About the salary, well CWF they have more projects in the portfolio therefore they have more budget and money. So they could have more high salary compared to SWF. That perhaps explained. Racism still seems like a appropriate word to suits the whole situation between CWF and SWF. |

QUOTE(fletcherwind @ Jul 24 2013, 01:08 PM) I definitely like your prevous post better, at least it made sense. If you argue that SWF workforce should get the same pay and opportunity as CWF because they have better technical skills or equal english proficiency and capabilities, it will make sense to me. But i guess you obviously don't believe in it. @ your comment: "Racism still seems like a appropriate word to suits the whole situation between CWF and SWF." ... ignorance is bliss. I do agree, overseas graduates do think and behave better than the local graduates. No doubts. Same goes to who ever get hired into CWF. Plus point for the attractive salary for the CWF folks.
