Pros

none that I can think after recent management changes

Cons

New management is allowing hostile and toxic individuals to flourish and they appear to be supported by the parent company. Micromanagement is creeping in and many employees do not feel safe in the new environment. Employee wellbeing, work life balance and career development looks like it will suffer under this new management team. Expect further layoffs and resignations.

Pros

Decent pay Decent WLB Decent benefits, really mediocre 401k match

Cons

Yikes accenture Lost a lot of what it used to be unfortunately. One more “non technical product manager” will not save you
