Pros

Great place start a career - you have the opportunity to learn valuable technical or functional skills it's a cliche, but the people really are good - the recruiting process does a nice job of finding bright and fun loving personalities across a diverse cultural spectrum. The idea of weekly travel to new places, international assignments, racking up hotel and airline points for free vacations is very alluring - - especially coming right out of college

Cons

It's difficult to build deep skills - you're at the mercy of what is selling at any particular point in time. You'll probably have to switch up and pretend to know more than you do in order get / stay staffed. We are infatuated with offshoring everything possible, but this comes with a price. Since we offshore the bottom levels of the work pyramid, there are limited opportunities for new US based resources in meaty project work ( unless you count PPT jockey or PMO helper) The result is we are bringing up a "generation" of IT consultants who don't understand how things really work. The work life balance is terrible compared to the rewards and stress of the job. Eventually, you'll have to go - - you'll burn out or won't make one of the cuts (up or out)...or even if you've made the cut to SE, there's no guarantees. This isn't a place to linger - put together a plan - execute it, then punch out while the gettin's good.

Pros

- Great benefits - Extensive tools and processes to help you perform your consulting work - Great place to learn leadership and how to develop your people

Cons

Accenture has many roles available that will prepare you for the Consulting world but the movement to the top and to the time it takes to get there is way too long. This causes people to get stuck in the same little roles that does not allow you to have enough ownership and direction of the project. Accenture also has the tendency to set high expectations with their clients which ends up burning out their people and lowering their morale.
