Pros

- Good place to work if you are a .Net coder - $2,000/year to spend on gadgets - Pretty good health benefits

Cons

- Laser focus on selling to CIOs makes it a poor place to work for business solution consultants (ERP, CRM, BI) - New career model has virtually stopped all career advancement - Shift from regional to service line organization has drastically reduced leadership roles and opportunities - Old boys club mentality among leadership (most worked together at Accenture or Microsoft Consulting Services) - 80% of business is hand-me-down work from Accenture - Very poor work/life balance

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.
