God, I love this kind of hot take. It fills in the blanks that the website’s design leaves out.

I'm not even being provocative, it's just the facts. If you want a hot take it would be that:

The only reason the current management is still in place is because the CEO's husband is in politics and institutional investors want to keep their allies in place. In turn, Accenture keeps their friends happy by syphoning money from the bottom to the top, at the cost of their own consultancy and delivery capabilities. Meanwhile, the C-suit cashes out big-time.

The CEO is fundamentally incapable of changing even a light bulb, let alone address strategic problems. As a lawyer and Harvard MBA, she provided "growth" by buying shitty IT-companies where key-experts left the company immediately. She doesn't have the knowledge or intellectual capability or create "value" or "operational efficiency". Instead, they chase trends and make one terrible decision after another. This burns money faster than a conveyor belt can transport into a furnace (like selling off most offices during covid at low prices and having to buy new ones when prices are up).

> the CEO's husband is a democrat

Perhaps my Google-fu is dying, but isn't this the CEO's husband?

> Chad Sweet is a Republican political consultant based in Washington, D.C., and co-founder of the Chertoff Group, a business and security consulting firm.

> Sweet was the campaign chairman for Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign and worked for the Central Intelligence Agency, several financial institutions, Department of Homeland Security, and the Texas Lyceum. In 2012, Sweet served as finance chairman for Cruz's Senate campaign.

Thanks for fact-checking, I appreciate it. People inside the company told me he's a democrat and should have double checked myself. Thanks for pointing that out.

I hereby call for a forum that is exclusively verified current and former employees of big companies spilling the tea like this.

Lol just go to r/accenture. Compared to those guys this is mild. Reddit is the place where employees refer to their company and CEO in the most vivid and colorful of ways.
