Pros
The recently created ACG is large pool of analysts who are able to work across industries and clients in order to develop individual preferences. This system is very slack and gives analysts a good opportunity to go unaccounted for. Although this is not in your benefit in the long term it can suit if you only plan to use Accenture as a stepping stone.
Cons
Accenture senior leadership have a reputation within the company as being very reactionary. The culture is perceived to be ‘up and out’ according to the performance of the individual however it has proven to be the case that Accenture only (over) react to market conditions by promoting large numbers (regardless of performance) in the good times and failing to recognise the top performers during the bad times. Your career progression is a lottery dependant on the time you joined and the economic conditions during your eye milestones periods.
