Pros
  • Brand name on your resume
  • Working with people in different countries
  • Some folks get to work on projects for big tech companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, ServiceNow, etc.
Cons

As an experienced engineer based in the US, you don't get the actual development work due to your charge rate. Therefore, the majority of development work would be assigned to developers in the Philippines or India.

Managers and Senior Managers on your development job are most likely non-technical enough but pretend they know about the complexities of your frontend and backend development. Most of them have a similar title: Solutions Architect Manager.

If you joined Accenture from a software company that actually develops products, you'd realize how simple your job has become and there are not many actual software engineers with technical understanding, especially in frontend and backend development in the US.
