Pros

Accenture is a good career starter out of university, as it has a good brand name and begins with a good training curriculum. The salaries for new joiners out of university used to be very good (becoming less so). Good amount of vacation time and good healthcare. Travelling, although tiring after a while, can be exciting for new Analysts and Consultants.

Cons

The pay has been severely degraded over the last few years, making the salary not so competitive with the market. All the good people are smart enough to leave early, and the very bad people are managed out, leaving a group of mediocre managers and senior managers (with a few exceptions). Once you become specialised in one area, the company will not support you to transfer to another area or learn new skills.

Pros

Takes motivated people who aren't quite sure what they want to do in life, and gives them direction and a chance to prove themselves. Really good people to work with. Usually intelligent, motivated and sociable, with the usual exceptions. Promotion system is usually fair, and chances to rise fast through the company come fast. Opportunity to change if you do not like what you are doing. Ability to manage your own career.

Cons

Senior execs emphasis on sales ahead of anything else. Not enough centralized policy on what opportunities to pursue. Snr Execs usually get carte blanche to pursue sales, and can make some very bad decisions that land everyone in it when it comes time to deliver. Inability of many snr execs to say no to clients.

Pros

Great people to work with--smart and collaborative. Great benefits and decent salary. Large knowledge base with lots of learning opportunities. Global capabilities can take on large complex projects

Cons

Opportunities are somewhat limited by what roles you can find. Work satisfaction depends on the project/client. Travel can be excessive.
