Pros

*The brand name of the company will make you you like GOD in the marketplace. *The skill sets and technologies deployed in client projects are marketable. *Other consulting firms are likely to hire you because you work for Accenture.

Cons

*Career path is under conditions... If you are unstaffed for 2 months, no promotion in that year. Regardless it is off-season or not. *Lots of politics when it comes with promotion and annual review. You will need to have your project or engagement partners to give huge pressure to your career counselor so that you can be promoted to the next level. *Compensation is worse than other consulting firm. When I was involved in a recruiting event in Accenture, I told the interviewee to pick Deloitte Consulting if he can get offers from Accenture and Deloitte simultaneously as Deloitte Consulting pays more.

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.
