Pros

Great people on the ground. Great purpose and vision. Great opportunities in technology.

Cons

Work life balance has been extremely poor since Covid, with senior leaders being asked to do so many +1 roles. Upper management isn't in touch with the people on the ground. Unfortunately a global leader with too many titles/responsibilities has been making poor decisions for several years, apparently with no accountability for his own strategic actions. Management by fear instead of what the company was built on. Over the past 12 months they cut some really good people who had been with the company since the early days, and treated them poorly on exit. That doesn't go unnoticed within the ranks. Short term decisions have long term consequences.

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.
