Pros
Accenture is a well respected name in IT. If you are looking tor a career in IT then you probably cannot get a better start anywhere than at ACN. A few years at ACN is work twice that outside of consulting.
Cons
They work you like a dog and don't pay what you are worth in the market. There is still a "firm" mentality at ACN despite the fact that there is no longer the firm upside if you stay to make partner (now senior exec). You will not get rich working for ACN but you will be expected to work as if you will be at the end of the day. Don't drink the Kool Aid, your lost potential earnings somewhere else is more valuable than anything you will get out of ACN.
