Pros

As an Accenture employee, I work for a big customer of Accenture and on a long term contract. Not much travel required, which is good for me. (I have two kids under 6.) You get some training opportunities and learn different technologies, especially when the project get more complicated. Workload is not that terrible, did not work many over night in my past year. People are very nice and pretty tolerate each other with different culture. Accenture is a good name to put into resume. If you want some security, stay here. If you are young and competent, move ahead.

Cons

We have many managers have no idea about the technologies. Some horrible architecture and design are passed into implementation without enough technical review, usually because the managers lack technical skills. Out sourcing makes things even worse. Poor and inexperienced developers get hired at India and cause more work here, e.g., cleaning the code and more debug. What managers care is budget and deadline, not enough work has been done to coordinate the teams. All these add up. You can imagine the mess. It won't take too long to make your morale low. I think that's why I see many people leaving.

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.
