Pros

The pay and work-from-home options are great for starting out in the tech field.

Cons

They usually recruit from coding bootcamps and place you in non-coding positions or positions that rarely get exposure to any coding language. For example, my entire cohort at Accenture was placed in design or testing roles. Then, after a year of doing mindless busy work, you have to apply for other projects. However, you won't be matched to or hired into any position other than the ones you started with because you are matched to certain roles and get a score for your skills within the company.

Advice to Management

Give employees real chances to get into tech roles as opposed to support roles.
