Pros
- Active IT and professional community - Some very talented people - Good teaching programs for entry levels - Some very lovely committed people - Some very friendly people - Weird and wonderful work - Work from home - Fantastic work life balance
Cons
- Lot of general politics and a bit who you know not what you know in some accounts (not all mind you some are really good) - Anything with Accenture (dear God their systems are awful) - More 'Consultant' less IT work but lot of zero value to a customer causes a lot of unnecessary frustration at times - Lot of contracts are 80% ish graduates with 20% experienced workforce, causes a lot of stress for experienced staff who just want to get on with it - Very high turnaround in seniors due to demands and workload (new faces everyday, everything has to change at a drop of a hat etc because I'm now have a new boss etc because the other one left.) - Run of the mill salary with little wiggle room to negogiate with Accenture (won't even bring it up, business speak to avoid question) - SYNERGY, or any pointless business jargon that has zero meaning (stop this your better than this) - No real office culture or community, all online if you like that and lost a lot of its special sauce with the takeover. - Lack of real career progression and the system just makes naff all sense . People jokingly stated that it was concocted one afternoon after a heavy session down at the spoons. I sort of believe that it was.
