Pros

Accenture offers: * A fantastic client-base. I've had a chance to work with some amazing clients. * Plenty of opportunities to travel. I have seen some beautiful cities thanks to Accenture being a globally-focused company. * Working with great people. Many of the friends I've made were once Accenture employees. * A multitude of industries to work in. There are opportunities, depending on your skillset, to work in almost any industry (government-based, utilities, chemicals, products, etc).

Cons

Accenture's cons: * No work-life balance. Sometimes there are 60 hour weeks. This doesn't count time spent in airports. * No support for flexible work arrangements. You're at the mercy of the client, and sometimes the manager (if he/she doesn't like you). * Fairly widespread disregard for following some company policies. Many times managers will write their own rules. * Brown-nosing is a must if you want to get ahead. Often the amount of participation and leadership in corporate-driven optional (read mandatory) initiatives are more valuable to your review than the work you're doing on a project.

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.
