I love it here, if you like to travel, constant change and high impact projects, c-level exposure, solving business problems, come work for us. Labs are cool too, less client exposure though. I would highly recommend it, it's not for everyone but there is a sense of purpose here.

I came from a world class company only for the flex it can provide and it has been the biggest mistake of my career. I have only regressed in skill since joining where the culture gets dumber and dumber every year thanks to greedy MD's who are ill mannered, only care about their commission, and will throw you under the bus in a blink. They keep dumbing down their off-shore resources as well so although on paper it appears as though they are saving money, off the books, the productivity is carried by high cost locations by working the staff five times as hard and the countries where there are no protections are the most vulnerable. This is the un innovative, over managed, poor internal process and practices that I have even experienced and what is really sad are the 20 year veterans who have never experienced anything better so they don't know what they don't know. Accenture is no way to spend a life so my advice is to go for anything else. On to anything else soon.
Worth pointing out that Accenture only hires total cunts
I remember when I was an intern that the company I interned for hired a couple of Ass-enter consultants (then Anderson Consulting). The people there couldn't code worth shit. I, as an intern, had to train some of them.....So go figure.
San Diego doesn't want you anyway.
Best part is Accenture no longer does once-a-year performance reviews. Yea....
Lots of competition in beautiful San Diego though.
So, my options are Silicon Valley, Sophia Antipolis (France), Arlington, Beijing and Bangalore? No thanks. I like So Cal.
