I wish all the best to those employees. Sadly, I haven't come across any professional services employee of Accenture who speaks positively of their employer or their job.

Patent violation claims from the organisation in which they are a key member? Oh please! MS have stated time and time again that they pay more in licensing fees to MPEG LA than what they make from it. Therefore it'd only be detrimental to o
