      Accenture is a great place to work in terms of work/life balance

      Pros

      -Accenture has a great work / life balance that is respected. -Senior women at Accenture are superior, other firms should learn from them. -Respected as an individual not matter what your level is -Respectful of your vacation time, family commitments and other reasons you may be out of the office. -Very organized and structured

      Cons

      -Very technology focused, which is not always a bad thing. It just depends on what you are looking for. -Possibility of getting stuck on a project for way too long and then getting extended over and over again. -Very hard to move industry groups, but possible if you work really hard at it.

      Not the first place you want to work.

      Pros

      Worked in a smaller office with great deal of flexibility. Had a good manager, and thus got exciting projects to work on. Some of the people there were brilliant and thus it is easy to suck in lots of knowledge. The hours were not long, and the area the office is situated is fairly nice. There was a casual attitude to most things. Followed an Agile method of building software, which was nice in that one could hear about the progress of other projects. I was given work right away when I started, and there was little siting around time.

      Cons

      In the end there was a lot of overhead to get access to do certain things. Senior management often did not promote the best people, and did not make the best decisions. It was very cumbersome to use a different platform than was already in existence. The level of knowledge of the people was very high, it just seemed that management did not utilize their skills to the highest degree. In addition the perks were not that great as they would be in a financial company or a start up company. There was little socialization outside of the work place.

      Accenture - Pretty fun, but definitely just a stepping stone

      Pros

      People you work with are pretty cool and its easy to make friends. Accenture seems to hire mostly hard working people who actually have personalities, which is cool. Projects are pretty diverse and all the perks - healthy vacation time, rewards programs, almost weekly sponsored happy hours, etc - can make for a fun experience. Sr Managers and Execs are usually very approachable and will talk to you about anything. Accenture has a good brand name and hopefully having it on your resume reaps returns later on.

      Cons

      Pay is pretty good when your first starting out, but subsequent increases have been miniscule. The laddering process for promotions, like many here have mentioned, is prone to bias and not done effectively in my opinion. Your life pretty much depends on like one Sr Exec somewhere who probably hasnt ever worked with you. As an analyst, most of the work is very low level, and doesnt command anyone's repect and attention. Accenture keeps hiring liberal arts/business majors and tries to force them to do technical roles which they dont want to do. Every analyst wants to get into the strategy group, which isnt even that good compared with the industry.
