Pros

- Great people - smart, fast, focused on getting the job done well - Relatively decent compensation package - Good training and knowledge sharing tools, resources and programmes

Cons

- Really long hours (with no OT pay, therefore resulting in the actual hourly wage being quite low) - Business requirements may result in people being stuck in roles they don't like for long periods of time.

Pros

Great place to start a career. I learned a ton, got to see lots of different types of companies, and enjoyed my time at ACN.

Cons

Project selection can vary widely. They don't want you sitting 'on the bench' so whatever project picks you is where you'll go for your first project.

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.
