Okay for a bigger shop. No really robust accounts except for verizon and microsoft, and avoid those. At your level it’s worth it though.

Culture is what you make of it but that being said ain’t no culture in account management. Probably the most un-unified department at the office. Kind of sad, really. Very siloed. But there are great people there.
