Pros

Accenture is a large organisation where as a young graduate you can learn a lot. It's range of services, industries and clients give plenty of opportunity to work with leading market players at a global level. The opportunity to learn is powered by a structured management of knowledge and by the breadth of resources you can reach worldwide. Working with smart people and as part of large scale programmes provides a very interesting environment, especially in the early stages of a career. If you can stand lot of travelling and don't want to get out at 5, on average you can still have a good work-life balance.

Cons

Accenture is a big corporation and as such it has lost some of the "personal touch" it had years ago. Bureaucracy, over competition for few places on top, a not very limpid performance management process come with the pack. There is a risk of getting lost in the crowd if you don't work for the right group of people and you don't pay attention to the "politics" of relations. Majority of people are brilliant and sharp so if you don't make more than a good marketing of yourself, very hardly you can get to the top level. Salary is reasonable but not “over exciting”

Pros

Accenture takes care of their employees. The benefits are good - paid time-off, health insureance and bonuses. Most clients respect Accenture as a company having experts in almost all areas that matter to them. Working for Accenture will be good for your career - learning a lot from your managers and peers. Accenture puts emphasis on work-life balance, probably because it's also the one that pushes you to work, work and work and then tries to balance that with flexibility in working arrangements. Executives are generally good - they have good training and works well with people. A lot of these executives either move up in Accenture or move out to good positions outside Accenture.

Cons

The work can get stressful and requires a lot of overtime. When you are on a client site, you normally work more hours than the regular employees there. Although people are generally good all-around, there could be others that are not very technically but tries to sound like experts. Employees would also have to be willing to travel around different clients when needed. There are short-term and long-term projects but it's not like being a regular employee of a company where you can stay as long as you practically want. There are cases when clients are not friendly to consultants.
