Pros

Proven leader in consulting, working with some of the largest clients (I recall reading 90% of Forbes 100) somewhere. Global network of SMEs at your fingertips. Excellent training and mentoring for new starters. Decent benefits. Tremendous travel opportunities. Work-life balance extremely hard to maintain but typical for the industry.

Cons

Very ineffective laddering and promotion process. Living the core values in addition to the hard work, dedication and loyalty are not always recognized and rewarded appropriately. Low pay and rewards continue to demotivate teams. Pockets of really poor senior management making terrible decisions that impact the overall organization.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
