Pros

Decent to good salary (85K+ for sr. consultant) Decent training budget

Cons

- Project managers and scrum masters here have no technical background, but call the shots, not a team lead - High chance of getting stuck on a multi-year project and it's near impossible to get off, even after putting in 2 years. - Non-technical people are viewed as more important than software developers - They don't care if the work aligns to what you want to do, they will put you on any project regardless of your desired tech stack - Your boss won't be on the same project as you, will have no idea what you're doing day-to-day, but they still evaluate you. - Bills client for your overtime, but you are not entitled to any of that - Owner Accenture is held on a pedestal and can do no wrong - Frequently told you must put company first - lots and lots of internal politics - most projects are talked up to sound amazing but in reality are quite mundane

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.
