Let me start by saying I love Accenture. Accenture has given me an opportunity to literally change my life for the better. That being said, I feel like my head is always being put in a box here. I feel frustrated in certain situations because I want to be innovative and move fast, but there’s a certain culture that forces me to reign back that innovation that I imagine exists in a more entrepreneurial role. Not sure what to do :/

I don’t think your experience at Accenture is unique and would imagine you’ll fine constraints no matter where you go for as long as you don’t own the business.

Yep, that's how I remember it. But most other big consulting is the same way.
