Pros: Diversity in projects, industry, and tech stacks. High visibility within the client organization.

Cons: Turning you into a jack of all trades with some businessy vibe.

Pros: At least you know you're doing cheap work.

Cons: Salary is 50% the average in the area. Bonus is 3%. Stock is tanking because AI is better than consultants. Management talks worse about the company (they worked at for 20+ years) than you do. No direction. All internal "technical training" is for middle managers to fake experience in; it is basically a BuzzFeed quiz. As far as I can see, consulting is just contracting with less experience in making said contracts, so there's a 90% chance for the relationship to turn out badly. Managers don't have any technical experience. Managers don't have any interest in training or upkeep for more junior people because "nobody gets promoted anyways." Managers don't value anything you do unless you're valuable to them in an Accenture way, so everything you do from day to day is useless. Managers will ignore anyone below a certain level. I feel like all my experience is being drained away and replaced by project management. Didn't realize this company was actually the worst part of Enron.

Pros: - Highly reputable firm. - Free food, nice office. - Fairly priced and nice benefits, the typical ones but multiple health insurance options. - Random deals with rental car companies and perks and benefits.

Cons: Don't join Accenture if you're fresh out of college; they won't promote you or get you staffed appropriately on good projects, unless you're lucky. But most of my peers have the same opinion. They had a backlog of promotions for 2-3 years straight. Joining at entry-level in hopes to be a developer in the USA, specifically California, is hopeless because getting projects is impossible due to being a high-cost resource, even for business development too. The process of finding a project on the bench is unbearable because HR doesn't even help you; you're on your own. Disorganized internal team. Projects: I rolled onto a project and was lied to that it was a software engineering project. They required me to commute almost 2 hours both ways to client site while my ACN manager on the project had no visibility to my role but lied that my SOW wasn't signed. I wasted 4 months of my career and commute being in a project at client site where they didn't know what to do with me or what my role was. DEI was cancelled.
