Pros

The only positive thing would be that there is a good WFH policy, and ACN being a well-established global brand.

Cons

A lot of office politics, narcissism, bureaucracy, red tape, very top heavy, some can be cut-throat. It's a very sales/consulting centric environment with a lot of mediocre protocols, (which I suppose, works for some just not me personally). ACN is all about billing the clients and project based assignments that look "good" on paper; there is a strong emphasis on quantity over quality. IMHO, dealt with a couple of regressive managers whom expected me to know everything from the gecko and wanted me to think just like them. I wasn't there long enough and wasn't passed enough client based projects to effectively, get my feet wet and wasn't given a chance to really build a network. Overall, don't expect anyone to hold my hand its a business but nonetheless, nobody genuinely seemed to express a continued interest as far as my career development. From my own experience, there is no well-defined structure as far as job scope/responsibilities in my niche, I did not get a lot of freedom to make my own decisions, felt that the work life balance was relatively mediocre and unclear. And whenever I was working towards making further self-improvements (most of the time successful, sometimes not), my efforts and contributions were never fully acknowledged and at times, felt a bit penalized like I was a child in school.

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.
