all you wanted me to say is there is a high turnover because the company is just not good enough to keep them. There you go I've said it.
Work life balance is a choice of the individual. Don't blame the company that you have to stay back because there is too much stuff to do because the individual themselves can't get over the guilt of not finishing it then and there. But I'll give you this, if you really want work-life balance whatever that means, it really depends on which project you get into. You sacrifice for any employee in your own choice, people tend to blame the employer they work with these days saying they pay too little for the work they are giving you. Why the hell stay then ? JUST LEAVE. And then they kept on giving it their all everyday they go to work
case solved, we all just need some sleep. But if you really think about it, it's not the employers giving hell, and it's not the employees blindly sacrificing themselves but that payable bill that goes into your mail and the end of each month and materialistic world today that's only making earning money ever more so important regardless of what you are tasked with
that my friend is completely wrong, people have a right and choice to say no to the task they are given with. Don't tell me they don't in accenture otherwise you are going to start sounding like a disgruntled ex-acn. And I think we are talking fresh grads here, correct me if I'm wrong but what kind of capabilities do fresh grads have these days other than a cert proving you've done some degree somewhere ? Everyone has to learn and if you are not willing to learn from basics then again... by bother joining the workforce lol .. so naive
Google? you can google anything these days so just because only disgruntled comments gets highlighted in your eyes I wouldnt be bothered by it too much.
maybe reread my last sentence. I mentioned all companies in general I did not say Accenture and do stop addressing what I've said out of context
Are you from the consulting work force? Well that really says it all really right? Seriously, you have really shown what Accenture is all about haven't you? If say I was implementing a project or something, I would not even consider using your services just based on what you have just said.
Well it took you so long to figure it out? I mean stop hiding behind lines like saying that people are leaving because of the market. It sure isn't convincing.
One moment you say this and the other moment you say that. So what are you trying to say right now. That work life balance is because of the individual or work life balance is because of the project. I am getting really confused here. For those who are reading this right now, you know what to do. I mean do not stay on in the company just because of the "prestige". So I was not really wrong as to why there is such a high turnover rate right? I mean why do you like hiding behind lines just to defend Accenture? You are brainwashed?
Do you know why people are so naive into overstaying longer then their welcome? Because they forgot that just like the employer we do have a say. They got conned into thinking that Accenture is such a prestigious company that they have to sacrifice everything including their dignity to be there.
You are the one who is being naive here. I guess you really do not understand the meaning of inflation dun you. The reason as to why people are so poor just like you is because they have this mindset that they have to work so hard just to get their next paycheck. They do not understand what is the term called career advancement and also to learn things that may be useful for their future. They do not understand that as employees we are actually providing service to the employers. It is a mutual agreement. The employee pays the employers for their services not to be their slave.
Wow. You really enjoy putting words into people mouth. When have I ever implied that I am talking about fresh grads. See you are even confusing yourself. Didn't you just said yourself that ACN is a place that encourages the individual to put the company first and also didn't you make this phrase "on a wrong impression you will do what you want to do". I guess you are implying everyone right?
You mentioned cause the throng of haters out there simply arent making enough noise. and I just provided you with the evidence. Who cares whether you are going to read. After all it would not changed a thing right seeing how brainwashed you are?
I guess instead of being a mnc we perhaps should call Accenture a MLM i mean seeing how much they wired the members there.
You are really a great advert for Accenture. Really. You should post more.

Because it's advertising and marketing. The HR needs to promote the company to attract talent.
You don't expect them to tell you the truth and say you won't have any life working there do you?
Don't expect people to tell you the fine printon how the culture is in any organisation, it's up to you to find that out yourself.
I do not expect them to say that I wun have a life there but at the same time I do not expect them to preach about work life balance as if it is something that they religiously follow. There is a fine line between credibility and hiding the truth and by preaching to others something that is actually very very far from the truth is actually a lack of credibility. Which is another thing that they claim to have
