Vantaggi

There was a time when Fjord was doing great work and had an amazing atmosphere and a great team of people. Those were the good ol' days. Sadly that is all but gone now. You can still find some good people and a very laxed environment if you don't mind being bored most of the time. It could be a great job depending on what you want - if consulting for big corporations is your cup of tea, it could be great. Plus, being part of a huge company like Accenture does mean you have pretty good benefits.

Svantaggi

All consulting and pontificating and no actual building or making. Since being acquired by Accenture the personality and talent that drove the company is all but gone. With all the red tape and consulting work now, they have a very hard time retaining talent and have thus become all talk and no execution. As the work shifted to mostly consulting, it became harder and harder to find inspiration and challenges to continue to grow and learn. This stagnation led to lots of turn over and a general feeling of malaise. If you want to be challenged and continue to grow and learn in your craft, this is not the place. However, if you want to coast through the day and and avoid responsibility then you might have found your match.

Vantaggi

Incredibly smart people. Great camaraderie. You will absolutely make friends working here. The company has a well-known name and good reputation. Some big name clients. Work-life balance was usually good, comparatively speaking. Compensation and benefits are good.

Svantaggi

Lots of typical post-acquisition woes: Bottlenecks to getting answers to questions, supplies, etcetera. Degrading company culture. The pipeline of work is very disappointing. The work shown on the website and in the company videos is not the work actually being done in the studio–at least not in NYC. Instead of working on innovative client work, you work on a lot of website reskins for Accenture clients. You end up working on the same 2-3 clients, and can get entrenched on projects for long periods of time without the option to work on something else. Management, while well-intentioned, can be frustrating. There is open communication, and you're free to pull management aside whenever you need to, but problems are often met with "sorry you have to deal with this" instead of any potential solutions. There's a mass exodus of talent, which may contribute to this sort of attitude. It often felt like senior management was not listening to the concerns of the floor, and the transparent communication is one-sided. The overall mood in the office is generally downcast, frustrated, and fed up, leading to what can be a very depressing workplace.
