Pros

Accenture has a strong focus on career development, and, given the right project manager, you can soon be on the "fast track" to promotions. Two caveats: (1) you have to perform and perform well and (2) your senior manager must have "selected" you as the one to move through the ranks with him (or her). Sometimes the latter is not the most fair of processes, but people who have reached the level of senior manager are not dumb and have their pick of the talent pool, so there is a science behind the madness. Overall a great place to work. Also, the 80 hour work weeks of old finally seem to be a thing of the past.

Cons

As mentioned previously, you can soon be on the "fast track" to promotions. Two caveats: (1) you have to perform and perform well and (2) your senior manager must have "selected" you as the one to move through the ranks with him (or her). Sometimes the latter is not the most fair of processes, but people who have reached the level of senior manager are not dumb and have their pick of the talent pool, so there is a science behind the madness. Overall a great place to work with plenty of opportunities. Work hard and you will be rewarded.

Pros

Allowed me to be an entrepreneur and be part of creating new intellectual capital. Supported my disability without question. Provided training in new technology.

Cons

Your career is built on you finding clients to bill your time against. In some cases, it may take longer than 30 days to locate the right opportunity.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
