Pros

The fact that I have been at Accenture for 4 years, speaks wonders itself. I believe that Accenture truly has the best people and the best networking available, that you can carry with you throughout your career, whether it be at Accenture or elsewhere. I find that senior management is very encouraging to help you achieve what you want in your career, and will endorse you when transferring to another division, or changing career paths altogether. Accenture also encourages further education to everyone, and offers a tuition reimbursement if this education will help further your career, and also gives access to every employee to participate in classroom trainings across the country and computer based trainings on virtually every subject you would need to learn (eg. excel training for beginners)

Cons

Depending on the project you are put on, there could be essentially 100% travel, or 0% travel. When it is 100% travel, there is no work-life balance, and you work quite a bit of overtime. However, there is also alot of downtime in between projects, where you don't know what to do with yourself. Another downside of working at Accenture is the promotion process. You are up against every other level in your department in the country, so therefore you get rated amongst everyone, so although you may get an exceeds rating from your review, this might not correspond to an exceptional pay increase or bonus, because you are based out of everyone in the country.

Pros

Immense opportunities for growthk provided there is a business need. The people we work with are all over the world so there is great comradship.

Cons

Huge differences in expectations between workforces, some opportunities are not available to you because of the workforce you come from. The compensation is something every Accenture Employee below manager level has complaints about. I was hired in at 29.5K a year in 2006 - for the San Francisco Location.

Pros

It is a company that allows you personal freedom while still providing a place to learn and grow. I have only been here about 8 months and already have won awards and accolades for the job I am doing. It isn't a stict "you have to come to work at 9 and leave at 5" job. You can pick hours that work for you and the management works with you to make sure that you are developing the way you should. If you don't feel challeneged they find more work to challenege you and to push the limit. Growth isn't as easy as one would like but there is occassional opportunities.

Cons

Growth isn't as easy at some other companies. Promotions don't seem to come as easy either, but that could just be my personal experience since I haven't been here that long. That dress code (specifically with shoes) is very strict and I find that confining and rather annoying. There is no travel (associated with my job) and at this time in my life travel is something I would have liked to do. Also, the systems that we work with tend to be slow at times (more often than other companies) and this hinders our work but we are required to stay or to leave and use paid time off.
