Pros

Accenture encourages you to be efficient and to excel. You get your hands on new technology and because it is an outsourcing company, you gain experience with a multitude of client environments. The company promotes process improvement, and encourages employees to get involved in training, volunteer work, and team-building initiatives. The company attracts some really great people.

Cons

The company is on an aggressive mission to move as much work to India and other low-cost countries as possible. They are top heavy in management, and short on leaders with direction. There is an abundance of managers, and the shrinking technical resources are forced to work to no end. True leaders are becoming hard to find here. Most employees must work while on PTO, or risk falling behind and failing.

Pros

Accenture is the place to go to start a career. They invest heavily in their individuals and work to get them up to speed through training and mentoring and career counseling. They build value in you so you are a value to clients.

Cons

As an enormous public company, we are prone to laws and regulations and oversight groups, but they are good because we stay in compliance and out of trouble as a corporation. My office location is small so we have a great community, other large cities are so big its hard to know anyone in your local area, especially if you're a traveling consultant. I do find that our management people who want to move up in ranks end up focused on sales more than delivery and will sell work w/o thought of the consequences of their current people or future project integrity

Pros

Young and innovative staff. Excellent personal work environment amongst teams - there are really some great people here! You will learn a lot and gain invaluable experience here - Accenture is the boot camp for consultants which will serve you well and look impressive on a c.v. when you leave: and most likely you will leave for better pay, projects that link with your competencies, and a better life-work balance.

Cons

Abysmal life-work balance. Accrued overtime never gets compensated - either in pay or time off with pay. Byzantine metrics for performance evaluations which do not accurately reflect each individual's performance on a specific team or assignment. Executives often are out of touch or proactively indifferent to concerns of managers and consultants.
