The notice period in Accenture for employees who are on the bench is typically 90 days. When I used to work at Accenture my notice period felt quite long, especially since I was eager to move on to another next opportunity. While the standard time is 90 days, I've heard that it might be possible to negotiate this period under certain circumstances, but it’s not guaranteed.
I think it's important to understand the reasons behind this lengthy notice period. Accenture invests a lot in training and onboarding employees, and they want to ensure a smooth transition when someone leaves. However, for those of us on the bench, it can feel frustrating to be stuck in a waiting phase, especially when we want to explore new roles or projects.
In my case, I found it helpful to communicate openly with my manager about my situation. They were understanding and provided guidance on how to navigate the notice period in Accenture. Overall, while the 90-day notice period is a standard policy, having a good relationship with your manager might help in discussing your options.
