Pros

Great way to obtain lots of useful skills like project management and client development. You can learn a lot through this firm. Some more reasons are that the firm can give you many opportunities to do jobs that most firms would not allow you to do without more experience. I am able to work with the client on work that normally would be reserved for more seasoned staff. Some of the people that work here are talented and a real pleasure to work with. I am paid reasonably well considering my little experience. Also, working here looks good on resumes.

Cons

Your time is not well respected. We are not compensated for the amount of time that we spend traveling to the client which can be significant. It is very easy to devote a year or more of your life to one client with little change in role or duties. I have wanted to look for other roles but I can not leave my current one because the client wants me to stay. Also, this is a very social-oriented job in that if you are not actively networking with others in the firm, you might not know about upcoming projects or roles.

Pros

The people of Accenture could be the reason why many people stick around for the long term. At Accenture, you have the chance of working with intelligent and hard working individuals. You will also get the opportunity to work with many Fortune 500 companies which helps to increase your networking possibilities.

Cons

The work/life balance and constant traveling are the major downsides. The majority of employees end up working 50+ hours which don't take into account your traveling time to and from the client. Accenture needs to do a better job of staffing their resources close to home. You have a better shot of winning Powerball or Mega Million before getting the opportunity to work in town and not have to deal with living out of a suitcase and knowing the TSA agents at your local airport on a 1st name basis.
