Campus recruitment 2010-2011 begins: Accenture violates Nasscom rule

IT firms TCS, Infosys and Wipro are accusing have accused Accenture of violating campus recruitment norms. They accuse that Accenture has begun campus recruitment a full one semester year ahead and violated the Nasscom norms.

Even a couple of years back, IT companies used to hire engineering graduates a year before they passed out. However, Nasscom asked top colleges last year to postpone their placement season to the final semester. This was done to ensure that software firms would go in for just- in-time hiring, to ensure that they do not over hire in an environment where project pipelines were under pressure.

Owing to this rule the campus placement had begun only during the last semester for the students. Nasscom had written to all IT firms asking them to continue this trend for the current year also.But IT firms allege that Accenture had violated this directive by giving offer letters to students in a couple of colleges based in Pune and Ahmedabad.The colleges where Accenture has given offer letters are Sinhgad group of institutions in Pune and Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication in Gujarat. Two people involved in the placement process at these two institutes confirmed that Accenture had issued offer letters.

Will other companies also follow suit with Accenture or stick on with Nasscom rule? Either ways, IT industry is back and back in a big way as we have been reporting.

    Accenture is the worst companies to work for.

    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.

    I agree with the above writers. My brother worked in Accenture and have given up Job bcoz of unethical in every way. They torture freshers. My suggestion to freshers is . dont join that stupid company or U will ruin ur careers.
