Pros

It is a large company that offers employess a number of different options in potential career paths. There are industry segments availabe that allow employess to pursue areas of interest. The company offers substantial benefits in terms of leave time and health care options, so decisions regarding vacation and medical provider planning are easier. As Accenture is a global company, employees often have the opportunity to work with and interact with resources from around the globe. Many resources re-locate to other cities for a specified period of time for cultural enrichment and skills enhancements. Opportunities to move in other areas are generally encouraged.

Cons

The size of the company sometimes makes individuals feel more like numbers than valued employees. There is an occassional disconnect in management understanding of staff needs.

Pros

- world of opportunities, global company, good on resume - variety of functions, learning curve, every week is different - flexibility: you're responsible for your work. How/when you do it usually ends up being your problem. - exposure to different colleagues/cultures, lasting relationships - fun atmosphere: never really had the feeling I was going to work, more that I was going to see a group friends - if you show your worth, management will support you & the amount of opportunities will significantly increase - focused on IT (good place for techies) - good salary increase - senior management actually listening to employees (at least in Belgium...) - up or out model is changing, possibility to remain at manager/SM level is being implemented - the 50% raise when I left overall, good experience. Thinking about going back someday.

Cons

- work/life balance: world of opportunities will require travel, or a lot of work during some periods - careful about burn-out: People our main asset? - ATS basically hires everyone who can read. You often have to work with these people. Can be tough. - path to partnership unclear. - compensation in line with the market, but not in line with your schedule (but this improves with time). Overtime not systematically compensated (this does not) - mentors in senior management usually have very very little time to actually 'mentor' - No objective performance criteria -> end of year rating sometimes seems to be randomly determined. - lots of differences between offices, even in the same region!

Pros

Great people and good managers who care about your personal development. Good internship program with lots of social and professional events with other interns. Very generous pay for interns. Accenture works with you to find good location that's right for you. There is a weekend trip to the Accenture training facility for all interns, which was really fun and a good way to meet other interns and get a feel for what training is really like for full-time employees.

Cons

Internship program doesn't always place you on projects that are close to what you would be doing after graduation. Also, a lot of interns are not given enough assignments so you have to search for something to do to fill your 8 hours every day.
