wasn't going to reply but you called out Accenture.

I work at the Government Contracting arm of Accenture called Accenture Federal and it is by far the best place I've ever worked ( I worked in submarines for a decade so probably nowhere to go but up from there). It ranks highly in those marketing pieces "best places to work" if you're into that sort of thing.

anyway, I highly recommend Accenture Federal. Great projects, benefits, and WLB

I work for Accenture too. It's like any giganto-corp, there are parts of the organization that are great and parts that are not so great. I was lucky to be hired into one of the very good areas. I've worked for a bunch of other Fortune 500s and it's the same story. I think at that scale it's basically impossible to have a uniform culture.

That's true there is nowhere to go but up if you're in a submarine!

Some passengers from the oceangate submersible Titan might have a different opinion.
