Pros

Smart and friendly people. Good client opportunities. Decent work-life balance, at times.

Cons

This place changed for the worse over the last few years. They have an excellent new US president. But they have ZERO loyalty to tenured employees. So watch your back. You MUST be client relevant and billable if you’re in the consulting workforce or your days are numbered. If you volunteer or are asked to perform an internal role, get out of it as soon as you can because they don’t care to see you develop or grow in the role and you’ll have a huge target on your back. I was there for a long time, since the beginning of the company. Trust me, they don’t care unless you’re billing a customer, regardless of your tenure. It’s incredibly disappointing and not at all what I’d expect from the company. The senior leadership is also being taken over by ex-IBMers who have a reputation as being difficult to work with and work for. Took a long time to get senior female leaders.

Pros

A really nice office with perks and company culture that come from Accenture.

Cons

There is a prioritization with getting certifications and doing a lot of tasks outside of full time client work, just to get promoted. If you are in the bench and it’s a slow season, there is a high risk of getting laid off. You will lose your sense of purpose all for the trendy AI culture. The company thrives on buzz terms and marketing solutions rather than actually solving anything.
