Pros

Competitive pay scale when I first started ten years ago, may be less so now for new joiners. Interesting work and solid client list.

Cons

Leadership has changed so drastically from when I started, leadership is no longer best in class with employees' best interest at heart. A few less than ideal leaders replaced absolutely awesome leaders, who then have supported promoting their friends over the best candidate. Promotion process is a popularity contest over anything else. The company is known for firing or "laying off" workers over 50, and is hard pressed to support women in leadership.

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.
