Pros

Gadget allowance. Veneer of doing good through numerous, almost compulsory, social welfare programs. Chance of a bonus. Microsoft owns a bit of the company, for what that's worth...

Cons

Hmmm. Majority owned by one of the worst companies on Earth. A company that had to change its name after being implicated in Enron. A company that hunted an employee that started a website called exposingevilempire.com check it out.

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.
