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

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.
