Can anyone give an opinion about joining Cognizant Bangalore now ? I have 1.8 YoE and they are offering a pretty good hike but I have heard news like there's managerial changes happening rn and many people are leaving the firm. Your opiniors will greatly help me in making a career decision.
Hi DI folks, how were the hikes last year??
Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

My wife started as an M at Accenture earlier this year coming from industry. I’ve never worked at Accenture or any b4, but I had to explain to her how up or out works. She also didn’t know that she came in with 24 months at level and what that meant. Really surprised none of this was communicated during hiring or by her manager.

What level are you now?
Good - premium brand, great relationships with client executives; really strong people, top notch campus and exp hires; deep industry expertise
Bad - lots of turf wars, infighting between groups for revenue; cannot compete on price, firm is trying to figure out how to be more competitive through onshore and offshore delivery centers and experimental business models; weaker in tech then Deloitte and ACN
Prob a great move if you are niche that is in high demand, but if you are selling more commoditized services PwC could be a tough place to carve out / build a business
Nice, director at PwC is a big deal, $200k plus, I say go for if the pipeline is strong, if they are struggling to sell work I'd be wary
Not a lot of sharing....directors keep ppts and deliverables to themselves. Everyone thinks tgat you may steal their client. Risk averse x 1 million. You will hear....we are a 180 year firm we do not do new things. This translates into using old frameworks that were created by partners eons ago to solve new problems.
Very deferential....seniority wins here....without any debate. Basically if a partner says something....even if it is wrong nobody will ask him to explain.
I really regretted the move. only born and bred or people who are willing to blindly follow old frameworks do well here.
Id recommend deloitte, slalom, another acn division or even industry over pwc
Yes. Last 3 years I've averaged $9M in sales per year.
Interesting. Appreciate the perspective.
Careful b/c directors have sales targets. Have you sold work?
Currently a new SM promote. Work is pretty niche - focus is on MC services as it relates to transforming a specific component of client operations (don't want to give away too much, doubt there are many, if any, other offers out for the type of work I do).
Thanks @SC1
Though if you're doing so well at Accenture, aren't you on tract for partner? Seems like a waste to leave that!
You are prob better off staying at acn if what you sold previously was anything tech related. Pwc has bssically zero IT skills or delivery skills when compared to acn.
I made a similar move (along w several acn friends) and we all left within 12-24 months
Awful culture compared to acn too...much more focused on rules, appearance and position than acn.
@SC2 - not tech related, pure MC / Strat work. Can you expand on "awful culture"?
