Pros

Great benefits for people willing to travel. The points you accrue are yours to keep, and you can flexible travel anywhere you want on the weekends, as long as it is less then your ticket home would be. Promotion path can be quick for high achievers who have support from their management. Potential to work on a wide variety of items. Early exposure to senior leadership

Cons

100% travel for most consultants Subjective promotion process can lead you to being passed over if you do not have a good advocate to support you for promotion/raise Poor work life balance on many project Potential to work on very bad projects with poor leadership(not a definite but it does happen) Pay is on the lower side of competitive for the industry.

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.
