Pros

Work with competent, talented, hard working people. Opportunities to volunteer for local organizations, even travel to third world countries to help and still get paid. Loads of career opportunities. Great for someone fresh out of college who doesn't know which direction to take their career in. Get to stay at amazing hotels, eat at fine restaurants, drive nice rental cars. Pay is good. Opportunities to explore any industry. Get to work with people from all over the world. It is a huge company and you get to plan your own career. No one will do it for you. If you're hardworking, motivated, and don't mind traveling all the time, this is the right place for you.

Cons

Cut-throat competition, traveling gets old after a while. Easy to gain weight when traveling. Some managers are too high-strung. Working with some of our clients who are incompetent and indecisive is frustrating, specially when the Accenture executives are too worried about insulting them. Company is huge and it's easy to get lost in the process- must find your own mentors and network to help you through the career process (a career counselor is assigned to every employee- they just might not be as involved in your career as you'd like. Like in all companies, there's a waste of money- you just have to learn that spending $2,000 for presentation materials is considered okay.

Pros

Accenture taught me to far exceed my client's expectations in order to remain entrenched in customer endeavors and consistently generate revenue through follow-on projects. In my three years I was consistently pushed beyond my comfort zone to eventually provide my customer's with truly valuable deliverables. Employees were promoted based on merit and accomplishments rather than seniority. Accenture’s annual review process provided valuable feedback on how others perceived my consultative approach and work product.

Cons

Long Hours: If you are awake you're typically working As a senior consultant, my bonus was only 5% of base salary (though I did have the option to purchase stock at 15% discount) Travel: 4 or 5 days on the road gets old after a few years

Pros

Good for gaining experience. Career advancement is relatively fast compared to industry. You can learn a lot if you make a conscious effort.

Cons

Work-life balance doesn't exist. Travelling can take a lot out of you. By the time you get home on Thurs/Fri, you're completely exhausted. Depending on the project, you do get some time to explore the city you're in and have a good time, but that's the exception, not the rule. Salaries are terrible compared to the industry. To get promoted, it's not always how good of a job you do, but who you know. Accenture resources are bright and hardworking, but lack technical skills. Sometimes you will find that you have to pick up the slack for the less technically gifted.
