Pros

Consulting is ultimately the best place to kick start one's career. You will learn a lot and learn to adapt to many facets of business aside from technology.

Cons

Pay is not competitive enough. All consultancies preach work/life balance, but ultimately, the concern of the company rely more so on chargeability rather than your personal life. Most projects I have worked on have been travel Sun-Fri for 50% of the time.

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.
