Many high-profile projects lack technical expertise

Pros

Accenture Federal Services is huge, and they are on a lot of high-profile projects. It's a great place to get exposure to the federal IT sector.

Cons

They're always hiring college recruits with liberal arts degrees who have minimal knowledge of implementing many of the federal IT services that Accenture is supposed to deliver.

This makes the engineers and developers work overtime with little to no recognition. Although these people are key to delivering on these "over-promised" deliverables, I have seen time and again that they get passed over for promotions, while people who "brown-nose" a lot with no technical expertise are the ones that stay.
