Pros

They will typically give you as much responsibility as you can prove that you can handle. Great atmosphere for people with work ethic and drive, but not a place where people who have have an overindulgent sense of entitlement. The right people can get a level of responsibility and exposure to very senior leaders at some of the world's largest companies at a pretty young age. For the most part the people you work with will be smart, hard driving and professional. You will have access to all the opportunity and knowledge you could ever dream of, so long as you are not afraid to go out and make it happen for yourself. I loce the opportunities at my fingertips here - the diversity and learning opportunities are second to none. Even if you don't make it to partner, if you can make it a couple of rungs up the ladder here, it will open a lot of other doors for you down the road.

Cons

Man, the place will work you to death if you let them. Work'/life balance always seems to be an issue, and despite all the grandstanding and internal spin, those who are willing to go to the mat for the company are the ones that end up making it farthest and fastest. Many times, the choice comes down to choosing personal interestes/family vs. work. that stinks. The atmosphere can also be very competitive, especialy on the business consulting side. Those that are looking for a cumbaya culture need not apply. Also, if you expect to be coddled, you might want to find somewhere else to work - Accenture can be a pretty cold place at the end of the day.

Pros

The people and culture are great. Very collaborative and supportive. Everyone including sernior executives invite communication. Everyone is available to give 15 minutes to talk to you about mentoring, an idea for a social responsibility initiative, or advice on completing your work. I have seen very junior people have an idea and be supported in pursuing making it real. Many of the current social responsibility initiatives started this way. Accenture also has a great blend of people who are home grown and experienced hires with multiple paths to success. If you started right out of college, you can be on the same track as someone hired with work experience.

Cons

Some projects can be brutal if they are not managed well. This well affect the Accenture experience, but overall senior executives are very supportive of people. LIke any organization that provides System Integratin or Management Consulting services, Accenture doesn't always get it right because of an individual manager who is underperforming, external client dependencies or the project just is not a good idea. More times than not, Accenture delivers on its reputation for getting the job done. I have been fortunate to see tough projects still provide a positive experience as Senior Executives bring a people-first attitude and try to recognize the great work being done on their teams.
