Caution: growth only by acquisition and lack of strategic thinking
Pros
Easy management attitude, flexible work from home for many consultants, average benefits
Cons
Lack of coherent vision or strategy for adaptation to marketplace value. This puts employees in a fend-for-yourself mode. Organic growth is low and acquisition growth is very disruptive as the integration approach is immature and encourages a chaotic collection of top heavy leadership with too many opinions and not enough direction. there is a definite Accenture feel, which is low on value-chain authority and high on per-project ad hoc and temporary resource collaboration. VP's are slow or hesitant to make decisions, and the fires they allow to start are blamed on others. Lots of tension as leaders vie for their careers. Customers sometimes suffer the lack of coordination.
