All the best brains of my batch applied to Accenture for Industrial Attachment (its a trend with the best brains of all batches :) ). The pay is too good. Some of them earn about S$2,000 with overtime pay and all that. Most of them are considered for a permanent job with Accenture too- a well paying one at that.

But the worst part is the work. Apparently its slave work. The people I know, worked only on Microsoft Word throughout their Attachment period :) . And they had very strict deadlines, which meant working atleast till 1 a.m. But most of them didnt mind coz of the fat pay check. And yeah, its the best way to make pots of money within the shortest period of time! :)

But then, tales are going round about how Accenture treats the candidates who apply for jobs, in India-with elimination rounds from 8.30 a.m. till atleast 11 p.m. in the night (atleast for those who qualify for the main interview). But then, I guess its a way of preparing the candidates for a gruelling time ahead. I have heard tales, from the friends who worked in Accenture, about how people go without sleep for days and spend their waking hours in the CompanyHeadquarters or their offices. Its not easy working in Accenture. Surely, the message gets through to the candidates with such a torturous day.

But interestingly, in Singapore, I havent heard of candidates being selected for a job (by an MNC atleast) within a day! Accenture Singapore has several rounds of elimination which last for atleast over a month . Wonder why Accenture reserved the on-the-way-to-slaughter treatment for its Indian wing?
