Pros

Opportunity to work for large customers on highly complex and challenging projects.

Cons

Lack of real training (currently about 1k per person per year) only self study training available. No training on how to be a consultant, long hours and no bonuses for consultants. IBM has an incentive program based on individual performance and company success. In fact this will be the first company I've worked for where I don't participate in any type of incentive program.

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.
