The World's Largest Shadow Employer - Accenture
Have Companies & The US Government Pay You!
app.silomarkets.com/launch
Have you ever heard of a company called Accenture? Well, they’re actually the 4th largest employer in the world with 733,000 employees worldwide. Most of you have likely never heard of Accenture though and that’s by design. Accenture is a consulting company headquartered in Ireland and they help all of the biggest companies and governments in the world with their busy work and their dirty work. Before being headquartered in Ireland, Accenture was actually headquartered in Bermuda. And before they were headquartered in Bermuda, they were just a subsidiary of an accounting firm called Arthur Andersen (the same Arthur Andersen that was involved in the Enron scandal). So, while Accenture primarily employs white-collar individuals, their services are much more in the gray area. This video explains the rise and controversies surrounding one of the largest background companies in the world: Accenture.

Incredibly simplistic video; a deep tone in your voice doesn't necessarily mean that you've done some actual analysis. And if you don't know Accenture, you probably live under a rock. 1. US Salaries are not representative of the whole firm. In many countries, only accenture directors make 90K a year. 30% of Accenture employees are in India. 2. Management consulting has nothing to do with what you described; most companies simply ignore the advice given to them if they don't agree with it. If a CEO blames a consulting firm for a mistake, the board will fire them first thing in the morning. And Accenture is not even a management consulting firm like McKinsey; it's primarily a tech consulting firm, which means it works primarily with clients to install business solutions. Like it or not, no firm can do it all by themselves. A bunch of coding nerds don't know how to do their books, and a bunch of 50yo accountants don't know tech; they both pay consultants to do the job. 3. Accenture is so massive because it's the world's largest subcontractor. It's not as much consulting as it is "renting out tech-savvy employees to our clients". That's the dirty side of Accenture. It underpays overworked graduates in India and other countries so that it can offer much lower rates than its competitors. You could have easily found all this by doing some actual research.

Accenture is one of the most well known IT/consulting firms out there, they even advertise on TV, in plain sight. That's hardly the behavior of a company working in the shadows. I'd even argue that a big part of the general public knows of Accenture.

I attended Accenture interview in my campus placement. I had already landed an offer with Barclays so I gave Accenture interview in very carelessness manner. I couldn't believe when I was selected for the job lol. I respectfully rejected their offer and went ahead with Barclays (who fired me after 6 months because I had a wild affair with a married senior manager)
This video gave me flashbacks. Company managers using Accenture managers as human shields (padding) against accountability. This rots a corporation from within, as short sighted decisions go essentially unpunished and the shielded managers never learn their lessons and keep repeating their mistakes. Quality employees eventually get fed up with constant failures and their hard work wasted.

I've seen this with outsourcing. The outsourced Partner becomes a scapegoat (or they are often actually at fault) for failures, but their contracts prevent meaningful accountability. This is often a systemic issue going all the way to the top.
I did an interview with them once a few years back. The interviewer was an MIT master graduate. He was good but the job seemed bullshit to me so I went to another company. The interview was easy, mostly Data Science related questions with python, SQL, ML, and stats verbal questions requesting you to speak the code for. That's it, no followup coding interviews. One interview round. Was surprised.
Back in the 80's & 90's , I was a programming contractor and usually worked at large companies for months or years at a time. Whenever I was at a company that Arthur Andersen was also contracting at, they were always the best dressed (and presumably, highest paid) of any of the contracting groups. None of us had any respect for them, since they never seemed to know what to do without help from one or more of the other contractors.

I'm amazed how prolific in creating such high quality content you are. Respect the crazy work ethic man.
I am from India and if you see an ad for any highly paid call centre job, it's almost always Accenture or Barclays 😅, they usually pay 3X the median wage in India. I knew about them but I didn't know how big they were!
Accenture is pretty famous not only among corporates but also regular people. Regular people know them because just like TCS, Infosys and Wipro, here in India, they're a pretty famous mass recruiter. Even Cognizant!
As someone who studied with some Accenture folks, there are two things I distinctly remember. First, after a few sentences, you can always tell they’re from Accenture. Second, the name "Accidenture" is spot on for describing most of them.
Accenture are also a terrible consultancy! Worked with them on a project and they were awful and did very little!

In light of the current economic trends indicating a potential downturn in the stock market and an impending recession, coupled with falling inflation rates, investors are advised to consider diversifying their portfolios. Exploring alternative assets such as gold and crypto trading would be a strategic move to hedge against the expected market volatility and inflationary pressures. This approach is crucial in navigating the complex financial landscape shaped by fluctuating Federal Reserve policies and the broader economic climate........Amidst this the insights of a knowledgeable guide like Kerrie Farrell can be crucial. Her expertise in navigating the nuances of cryptocurrency investments has been the key to understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends...managed to grow a nest egg of around 4 b,tc to a decent 21 b,tc in the space of a few months....

A while ago I was at a job fair where accenture was also there, but their logistics messed up and they didn't have any big stands with flyers etc. They didn't have any at all. It's kind of funny that such a big company can make mistakes, or rather their logistics.
I didn't know every Tech Company relied on Accenture
One might think Accenture pays really well. But if you use salary/very long hours period, you will end up just average pay. So it depends on whether you want to make mandatory OT for whilte collar or not
