Pros

Great fiscal discipline and ability to execute, complete customer obsession in front line consultants. We treat our people and customers with integrity and truthfulness, and I love being able to work with some of the smartest people in the technology industry.

Cons

Career upside is limited as you make it into senior ranks, as the company scales more and more emphasis is placed on bottom line and operating efficiency at the expense of risk taking and innovation. Also, the flat organization structure that placed more emphasis on collabration and group success is being replaced by a growth at all costs, you're only as good as your quota mentality, kind of sad given the company is still private and should be able to take more risks and place bigger, longer term bets

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.
