Pros

The best thing about working for Accenture is the great amount of knowledgeable people you work with and the variety of opportunities to be found within one company. It is also a great resume builder as it is a very well known and respected company.

Cons

Sometimes the company is more concerned with head count for a project instead of what is delivered, sometimes causing the hiring of a lot of incompetent people trying to work with technology that they do not have a proficiency for. This leads to a major degradation in the delivered product and questions of ethics. Also, promotions will be given based off not only hard work, but schmoozing as well.

Pros

Accenture is a large company where you can make many connections and move up quickly. Regardless of where you come in, there is a lot of opportunity to explore a breadth of options to focus your career on. There is a lot of flexibility and many of my co-workers have switched industries, workgroups, or locations. The work/life balance is better than some other consulting companies.

Cons

A lot of what goes into promotions and annual reviews is who you know and who is willing to stand up for you. The pay and bonuses are not as good as some other consulting companies and there are also long hours, travel, and little work/life balance.

Pros

Accenture is a well respected name in IT. If you are looking tor a career in IT then you probably cannot get a better start anywhere than at ACN. A few years at ACN is work twice that outside of consulting.

Cons

They work you like a dog and don't pay what you are worth in the market. There is still a "firm" mentality at ACN despite the fact that there is no longer the firm upside if you stay to make partner (now senior exec). You will not get rich working for ACN but you will be expected to work as if you will be at the end of the day. Don't drink the Kool Aid, your lost potential earnings somewhere else is more valuable than anything you will get out of ACN.
