Ex-Accenture software dev here. I'll be honest, your experience as a dev is basically subject to an RNG. You could luck out and land on an amazing project, with an amazing client, and an amazing team. Sometimes the clients, or the team, or the work itself, will sap your will to live. For a starter job, it's fine. It's a job and they aren't discriminating when it comes to graduates/undergrads (or maybe that's impostor syndrome speaking), so it's a great way to get some experience on your CV to move on to better and greater things after the 24 months is up. Career progression for the technically-focused is non-existent. I legitimately felt like all technical functions were some sort of a vestigial growth that they haven't gotten around to removing. There are 13 levels of pay (I started at the second-lowest), and the top 8 I believe were reserved for the management track. Not a good sign if you don't like playing human politics. After seeing how the metaphorical sausage is made within the company, I'd definitely not hire them for any technical work. You might get an amazing team, or you might get an outsourced money sink that messes up so badly that it's just cheaper to build your own in the first place. The AI and blockchain hype that you see in this comment section is (or was, in my time) an actual thing. Of course it's ill-advised to rock the boat about this on the record, so I chose not to do so.
