Pros

Name recognition. Amazing clients, and amazing co-workers even though turnover is very high. The firm culture encourages everyone to reach out to experts, so it is easy to put together amazing cross-functional teams with deep expertise across a wide variety of issues.

Cons

Lack of a single, comprehensive strategy for the company makes it feel very disorganized. They continually change focus and Leadership cannot articulate what is expected. Also, the firm is extremely insular- very little outside knowledge makes it in. In fact, executives will discourage gaining outside perspectives by attending classes or seminars or doing business reading because "what we have is so superior to what is available elsewhere". Career development is a joke. Even though there is no practical way to compare the performance of management consultants across different functional areas and engagements, Accenture's "rank and yank" performance measurement forces these comparisons each year. So I have been in the middle, then the very bottom, then the very top, then near the top, then the middle in my 5 previous rankings- and my collegues have similar experiences. The reality? Since we have to be promoted or be "counseled out"- Accenture speak for being fired- we all take turns getting the rankings we need, regardless of performance in a given year.
