Pros

- Current Technology - Globally Connected - Laptops issued have phones/headset, MS LYNC - Fantastic Methodology (for SD, PM, etc. - well planned out and people trained) - Push Employees in Training/Certifications - Great Place for Someone Right out of College - Good Mentors - Pay is in Line with Market

Cons

- Not much say in Projects You Get Assigned To - They don't even ask if you are interested - Totally don't understand the capabilities of some of their staff - A very senior level person may be assigned to a very junior level position (this is more than frustrating and people will leave if they are not challenged - Not at all impressed with BDMs - they go to client sites and don't say hi to company employees (we ARE providing part of your paycheck Mr. BDM), while on the bench BDMs may not return calls, etc. - if these folks are in sales, they should have GREAT relationships with both customers and consulting staff - You have a standardized methodology - why are only some projects using it?

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.
