Pros

Deep microsoft centric skillset of the employees across a broad range of technologies, many smart people, some of the executives at the region and area level are very sharp, strong internal training investments, tends to promote very quickly up to the manager/group manager levels

Cons

Very bureaucratic, last few years have added layers to financials making it difficult to win business, led by CEO that is accounting rather than people focused, inherited Accenture's risk-management-first attitude which drives nearly everything, training investments are great internally but enabling employees for external training doesnt happen, company's philosophy for tuition reimbursement is terrible, people may be promoted too quickly - leading to a disconnect between title and actual capacity as well as a lack of lower level personnel to put on projects

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.
