Great tools for training
Good, progressive atmosphere
Cons
Little say over which projects you get staffed to
You must be the one looking out for your career. "Career Advisers" are more concerned with you being chargeable in something irrelevant to your department than actually advancing your career.

I’m sorry to hear that your career adviser experience was not what you had hoped. We launched our Career Adviser training curriculum last year in an effort to teach our leaders how to provide meaningful feedback to improve your performance and how to engage you in a dialogue about your career growth and development. If you’re willing to share more information about your experience, please email me at jeyan.jeevaratnam@avanade.com
Company really cares for their employees, development, and culture
Recognition for good work
Cons
Consulting in general is not what it used to be
Accenture big brother is quite bureaucratic and obnoxious managing 'profiles'
CEO is in London but HQ is Seattle
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.
