Reply to comment by cartsucks in Accenture slashes 19,000 jobs worldwide by GL4389

Accenture are already a consultancy and management company. Most fucked up projects are that the customer doesn't have a clear idea on what they want, and that when the initial releases are avaliable (90% point), they change their minds or want to add on more functionality.

FYI - my partner is director level in a closely related company. She often fire-fights a lot of truely messed up projects.

Maybe not, consultant companies sell that idea pretty hard that only they are experts and know what they are doing. In my revisits in tech, they don't give a shit at all and do the bare minimum. Most are incredibly unqualified and titles are super inflated to sell higher rates. Often projects are done to exactly the minimum promised not what would help. Management consulting may be different but my wife was gaslight and has ptsd from her coworkers at a subsidiary there that focused on tech. Horrible company.
