Pros

Great place to work if you are just starting your career. You can pick up both technology and business skills while working for a lot of diverse clients, if you are open to travel.

Cons

As the company is trying to grow, focus is on sales but not enough on people. Company is teaming up with Accenture more these days, which affects the company culture. Rank and file consultants can feel treated like pawns by senior management. Career model has gone through several rounds of changes recently. But it all felt like 'nominal' changes, not much real stuff there. With those so-called metrics in place, management has short-term behavior because the metrics are done annually.

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.
