Pros

Working in Accenture gives the possibility to grow your career faster than in most other companies. In fact I think this is true for all consulting companies. Accenture gives you possibility to work on projects for different clients and in different countries, which is definitely a great experience (unfortunately see downsides for more information on this one).

Cons

The main disadvantage is lack of work/life balance. If you manage your free time really good, you will be able to find time for your friends and hobbies, but definitely not as much as in non-consulting companies. The problem is especially noticeable during some projects and in the last phase of almost every project. Of course, there will be times when you'll be working 40 hours per week and be able to devte more time for leisure. Another downside is definitely how hard it is to change projects. From what I've seen, noone cares who wants to be on what project and usually having two people with similar abilities, one of them interested in a specific project and the other on not, the second individual gets assigned. Last but not least, from my experience there is almost no management to consultants and analysts communication regarding planned projects.

Pros

Many aspects to appreciate while working at Accenture, whether it's amenities, flexibility but most importantly the office and company culture.

Cons

The pay isn't as good compared to other firms. If you are willing to take the cut but open to working with a team you enjoy, that's the trade off you'll have to be willing to consider.

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.
