Pros

If you're in the consulting workforce, you'll most likely never see the inside of an Accenture office, but instead be working at client sites, which could be almost anywhere. Not a bad scenario for fresh college grads who have no life yet and could use a housing and food budget subsidy. You might get sent to India for an outsourcing project, which could also be interesting.

Cons

Incredibly boring work for software developers. Compensation is below industry average. Very little training budget. If you're in software development, be prepared to use dusty and obsolete methodologies. Java is the new COBOL! Company does not value higher education. Leadership are all born-and-bred Accenture, most of them having arrived as analysts right after college. Accenture is well on their way to becoming an outsourcing juggernaut, so if you are disturbed by the idea that a 'high performance business' is one that sends every possible job to the third world, you might feel a little out of place.

Pros

Respect for work life balance: stretches of long days are offset by comp days, easy to request and get vacation days off. Company encourages good balance.

Cons

Once you've completed a project in a specific area, it's easy to be labeled an 'expert' in that field and difficult to move on to other type of projects.

Pros

Some people are fantastic - but it's the same everywhere Looks good on you CV, HR people tend to be lemmings...

Cons

Too many to list, suffice to say that I will never buy professional services from a public company
