Pros

Accenture has a very good brand name and has a strong legacy of consulting in India.It has some very old and good client relationships. It also provides new joiners and freshers the opportunity to work at client sites very quickly and be in front of the clients. It has good formalized training program and it is mandatory to go for international trainings, where one gets a chance to meet with people from other geogrpahies. The projects can range from ho-hum to some very good projects, which deliver a lot of value. Peers are very helpful and are willing to provide assistance when needed

Cons

Management is a big downer. The lack of communication leads to a lot of rumors and distrust. The culture of the company tends to get hierarchical where the senior executive would not talk to anybody except their direct reports. Management consulting is a small group but it seems like ages before a partner would notice your presence. The nature of work totally depends on the situation. Some of the work sold is just outright crap. Being a publicly traded company, achieving revenue targets is important so the company tries to be everything to everybody. No clear direction of management consulting and no clear standards in hiring.

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.
