There has been quite a few comments on the net against Accenture’s core values. I just quit yesterday. Its the most wise thing I have done in my life. Its disgusting to experience and observe the horror unfolding in the company. Its just a matter of time when ACN will become another Blue-chip company loosing its clothes in public because of bad corporate practises.
To those who are researching the company before you join them : These days having Accenture experience goes against you in the industry as the entire Tech services sector considers Accenture work culture to be appalling. And hence anyone from Accenture is considered as ‘AIDS’. I’m not being vindictive, just plain frank.
You can bid you skills goodbye by being with them as it is never encouraged. I was in the Manager level after having extensive IT experience in the industry and a degree from Stanford. The politics practised by everyone from team lead and up have made the environment toxic. Which any imbecile knows is a recipe for disaster.
Now that I work for a fantastic financial institution, I really pity the ones still stuck there due to the recession.

Bloody dogs, don't believe Accenture. Just ask ex employees and do you search on the internet to find out the true colours of Accenture.
These bastards will never change. Only smooth talking. Kick them on their balls. They cheat clients and employees alike.

I am an Accenture employee right now andI have worked in Cognizant too. In my opinion work culture is much better in Accenture compared to cognizant. But if you are a fresher and want to learn a lot in short time period ,I will suggest Cognizant.

Accenture no doubt pays better than any IT service base company in india like tcs,cts,infi,wipro etc...i joined acc 2 yrs back while my friends joined tcs,cts. We all had fresher pckg of 3lakhs. now after 2 yrs they are still in 3 and i am in 5.2 nd dat says it all about accenture. A company which pays u betr will obviously expect u to work harder and naturally will be a bit time centric....

Accenture is the worst company with a lot of attitude carried by HR's. Very bad for laterals, they give least hike on current CTS and keep on arguing. They dont need skilled people but people who go for least hikes and thk accenture as IT God. They act as if they are the greatest company in the whole world. CTS is in 3rd place because of positive attitude with skilled resources and respect for them and Accen in 5th place. CTS recognises good work , flexible for women folks not time centric. Quality wrk done.

@paula,Yeah,Cognizant,An US head quartered Company..but most of its operations were take place in india and 75% employees are from india...Accenture,An Ireland based company...if u got offers from both companies.,Better go for Cognizant...
It doesnt mean accenture is not a good one..but in india.,Accenture was not the best..than Cognizant..

well, I am not sure any of the comments above tells anyone which company is better. lot of these are written out of emotions OR because of perception/experience with one aspect that may or may not be specific to an individual. Here I will try to provide more rational comparison:
Before you read my comments, decide that you want consulting industry or not. Consulting or outsourcing is ruthless industry when it comes to supply/demand or business needs. If you are not needed, you are not needed. This is true for all the consulting firms. Some would argue that no, some companies try to preserve talent. BS. No one in consulting does that. They probably value the skillset and see if they can preserve the skillset by creating some opportunity instead of letting go the employees. Anyway, it is strictly on business need base industry and your work-life balance will (most likely) be heavy towards work and even if you get it balanced, it will be highly intense job. Reason is simple - you have to deal with shareholders, clients, employees, clients' customers, and clients' shareholders too.
Now the comparison:
1. Size = Accenture beats congnizant
2. Culture = Accenture has consistent culture whereas Cognizant culture varies across geographies however, in general both score at par
3. Ethics = Accenture beats cognizant although it is not a clear edge. Both are highly ethical companies.
4. Opportunities = Cognizant may have an edge technically. Here is why. Accenture most certainly has larger foot print and thus more opportunity. However, Cognizant is fast growing so technically in such growing firms, there are always opportunities for improvement and opportunities to shine better than the structured/organized/mature environment.
5. Market share = Accenture beats cognizant
6. Market Cap = Accenture beats Cognizant
7. Job security = Tough one. However, Accenture takes the edge in consulting space just because of their size. For Outsourcing, both have the same. remember the geography flavor. We are talking global here. Indian kids - you can find local firms offering more security than possibly US based MNCs but at the cost of culture and ethics
8. Learning = Accenture clearly beats any other consulting firm

As a consumer of offshore consulting services (testing and development), I can tell you all that Cognizant has a TERRIBLE reputation at my company. They are viewed as inept, incompetent buffoons. We would work with Accenture over Cognizant every single time.
