Pros

- Well run company that knows how to make money and keep big clients - Tools and processes are excellent - Training and career development is good - Working with the biggest clients on the most prestigious projects

Cons

- Leadership dominated by "Accenture Lifers" who keep the machine going and all think and operate alike - the biggest 'old boy' network you will ever come across. - Limited promotion prospects now growth has slowed down - the best people are leaving as they're not prepared to wait for years to get promoted to SE whilst doing the hardest job in the firm - Senior Manager - Intolerable work / life balance and travel if you want any kind of life outside of work

Pros

Great place to start a career. I learned a ton, got to see lots of different types of companies, and enjoyed my time at ACN.

Cons

Project selection can vary widely. They don't want you sitting 'on the bench' so whatever project picks you is where you'll go for your first project.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
