Accenture is famous for milking the customer for all they are worth.
They have taught their business practices to the Indians. The ones I had were great at a song and a dance, but less good at actually writing code.
Many of their employees, both here and in India, are glorified salesmen. I had three programmers, a customer-relations rep in India, and a sales rep in the US.
I’ve never been able to figure out how they stay in business - it certainly isn’t by word of mouth!
And their embracing the offshore model gives you the worst of both - slick ‘Leads’ who have Zero depth, and unaccountable off-shore hacks. Went through a 2 year implementation with them using this model. A year later, no one knows what they did.
I agree - Accenture has done nothing for my company other than make money for themselves
