Business Outlook
Pros
In my experience, Accenture is among the strongest technology consulting firms. Not only do they deliver well, they combine it with strong understanding of the business. Though I'm sure other firms have their strengths, my opinion is that Accenture leads when it comes to delivering business solutions as opposed to just installing systems.
Cons
Work-life balance can be hard. It's probably no worse than at other firms, but it would be difficult to succeed with fewer than 60 hrs per week. Sr management typically lets you manage your own time, but client expectations and the need to support internal initiatives often makes it hard to balance in practice.
