What do the following statements mean? Does Accenture fire people for not getting promoted after a certain amount of time? At most companies, one who doesn't care about climbing the corp ladder can still do a good job without getting promoted or fired.
"Back in the old Andersen Consulting days, there were MANY more partners and managers. You just had to stick around long enough to become one, these days Accenture counsels out a lot of people as they get to the top."
"It is no secret that the consulting workforce is 'up or out'." |

Once you are eligible for promotion, you are put up for it - no choice about it. You then have approximately 3 years (i.e. 3 attempts) to make it. If you fail on the third attempt you're politely asked to leave the company.
