New to ACN. I understand that the People Lead/CC could be different from your manager. Could someone explain who evaluates the yearly performance evaluation, promotion nominations etc.?

So your People Lead is essentially your advocate/advisor in Accenture, and serves as your representative in performance discussions (mid and end year).

Every performance cycle, your project leads (project MDs, CALs in your case seeing you are a SM) will provide official performance feedback into the PA tool. Additionally, there is also a round of evaluation at the client account level, where they will evaluate you against your peers who are doing projects with the same client, and flag you accordingly. Flags include Talent Priority (higher base pay increase), Distinctive Achievement (higher bonus), Promote (recommend you for promotion) and Proceed (continue to grow at level). Flags serve as recommendations from the client account team.

Your People Lead will be able to see all these feedback, and will work with you to craft the right story for you. During PA, your PL will fight for your rewards, and ideally will have all the evidence (official feedback, client account flags) he/she needs to help you get what you want/deserve.

Thank you... very comprehensive and helpful!

Your people lead is often not your project lead. But as an SM assuming you are assigned to a group, your people lead should also be in your group. As an SM your people lead should be an MD. The way your people lead chooses to present you will impact you. This person can be a mentor, or can be your boss, or can be both.

It's a matrix structure of evaluation. Your project (s) provides feedback. Your people lead consolidates feedback and represents you in talent discussions

Thanks for the insights. While the Project Lead vs People Lead difference was clear to me given its similarity to other consulting firms, by manager I was referring to the Manager (Inherited) that shows up in the Workday org tree. I noticed that this Inherited Manager need not be the same as your Project or People Lead but looks like is the Practice Head.

How do you deal with stub years who are exceptionally bad? I’m not talking about general cluelessness which is completely expected and understandable, but turning in work product riddled with incomprehensible, grammatically incorrect sentences that would fail middle school English.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
