Top performers at Accenture to get bonuses of up to 27%

Bengaluru: Global IT services giant Accenture has rolled out performance-linked bonus payouts ranging from 0-27% across eligible employees as part of its November 2026 payout cycle, people familiar with the development told ET.

The payouts range from 8% to 26% in India, which accounts for around 3.5 lakh or roughly half of its 8.14 lakh employee base of the Ireland-headquartered IT and consulting firm. Non-performers have received zero percentage or no bonuses of the eligible payout, the persons said.

"The payouts have been better than the previous year, which somewhat in the range of 5-15%," said an employee familiar with select company-wide payouts. The relatively higher bonus payouts come at a time when the technology industry is witnessing several job cuts on the back of continued macroeconomic and AI-led uncertainty dampening the global IT services industry's opportunities.
