Pros

- Work/life balance is good - Excellent benefits - Good access to training

Cons

- No opportunities for growth at higher levels - Definitely an "old boys club" mentality - Accenture controls everything the company does at this point - Entrepreneurial spirit has vanished - Company has turned into a bean counters delight - Internal processes are cumbersome and lack agility - Same old, stale talent rehashed throughout leadership positions

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.
