Hi Fishes, I have received an offer from Barclays for AVP position. But the role discussed during interview was for Tech Delivery Manager whereas the offer letter mentions it as Tech Delivery Lead. Can you guys please suggest if it is the same role or should I request recruiter to get the role updated? Moreover it would be great if any of you can shed some light on the prospects/challenges of this role based on your experiences. Barclays Barclays global service center

ACN so far has been a lot more supportive and people feel genuine. I was thrown under the bus a few times at D from people I “thought” I trusted. I felt like I could never speak up about what I truly wanted to do because it wouldn’t align with my manager’s plans. Zero personal space, used to get calls on weeknights and weekends, which I quickly learned to shutdown but it was still annoying to deal with
I wouldn't call it grinding or anything, but culture-wise we do get pretty savage if you reply all to our firm of 400k people.
Accenture people rave about the culture and how friendly it is... grunt work is at every firm tbh
🔼 yeah, especially with the ACN stock near all time highs and the generous 15% discount.
Lol what. I LOVE the culture here. What do you wanna know?
K1, I heard the culture at KPMG and ACN is similar. Cheers, hope the grass is greener for you too.
It is like the marines...shit sucks when you are in there because its hard as all hell.
But you learn a lot and come out w confidence to spare.
I have never met someone who did 6+ years in acn and did not appreciate their time w acn or come out and not kick ass in their next position
@A1. Former D myself. Your assessment ^^ is dead-on-balls accurate.
Totally dependent on practice and project. Few bad actors, law of large numbers 400k people. Generally very impressed by culture and talent pool.
Not really. Public companies don't lay off on whims like private companies do. Plus our stock is through the roof & we can get @ a discount. Public companies also offer faster promotion because of larger org structures.
False. Spent time at Accenture and it's awesome.
The people that generally make such complaints usually suck bollocks at their job and are coping.
K1, I switched over from D. Culture is night and day
OP is at PwC lol. And OP, our cyber practice sucks despite the kool aid. If you have the option, go to ACN
Only partners would see it @D2
That's like all consulting though... And I've had a fairly easy run, though I love to complain anyway
I mean, they have a “growing” strategy practice guys... it’s not all “meat grinding”
OP must work at D and is looking at exit options.
Sucks to be a public company.
Finally the hardest change for most people coming over from the big 4 is the level of detail that acn operates at. Most of cybers leadership know what they are deploying inside and out. That level of detail goes from the high level strategy to hands to the key board. So if you are used to quoting NIST and letting the details fall to the clients team then your ride will be rough.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Btw my time at acn was epic
At acn1...examples of the differences?
