Cons

Long hours. Management is hands off, so must be able to work very independently and not be shy about reaching out to others. Seeking billable engagements must be self-driven. Internal consulting practice-building activities are in addition to full-time work for clients. Minimal job security.

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.
