Pros

High caliber people - (almost) everyone is very smart with great follow through; Interesting and challenging work - a great place to gain experience.

Cons

Average to below average salaries; Excessively schedule driven culture which can lead to ridiculous deadlines, long hours, and challenges with quality of delivery; HR function and processes are hopelessly bureaucratic and mired in "HR speak"; Employee reward system is too narrowly focused on top 5% leaving many very good employees with little recognition (or $) .

Pros

Looks great on the CV, so many future job opportunities have arisen just from having the word 'Accenture' on there. Great social events, free drinks, trips abroad, etc (this was before the economic downturn though) 'Some' great people to work with

Cons

The promotion process is extremely flawed. If you don't have a couple of Partners as your mates then you can forget about it. A very false, presenteeism, try-hard attitude, people like to cancel their holidays due to work committments and then make sure the whole office knows about it. Despite what they might say there is very little opportunity in the roles you take. If you're on the bench and there is a role to be filled, there's a good chance you'll be doing it, whether it is part of your skillset or not. I don't want to sound overly negative, my time there was good, but you'd have to triple my current salary for me to go back.
