Pros

Exposure to consulting with extremely large organisations Great stepping stone for graduates & those starting a consulting career Compensation for non-graduates is exceptional

Cons

Feels like an IBM club. Over the top social programs that focus almost entirely on Women in IT and limit resources for other social causes that employees are legitimately interested in. Accenture work ethic; grind you to the bone. Will abuse your expertise by forcing you to travel to execute the same projects year on year for different customers, pigeon holing your career growth Graduates are held back by unwritten rules for when they can be promoted etc which strains career mentoring processes. Graduates paid at bottom end of their "level"

Pros

Company really cares for their employees, development, and culture Recognition for good work

Cons

Consulting in general is not what it used to be Accenture big brother is quite bureaucratic and obnoxious managing 'profiles' CEO is in London but HQ is Seattle

Pros

The projects are really large so you'll get great experience. The benefits are good. The people are, for the most part, really nice at the lower level.

Cons

Always restructuring. You don't actually work for Avanade you work for Accenture under the name of Avanade. Accenture is always trying to absorb or downsize Avanade and even the execs don't have real power there. Plus all work and decisions are also controlled by Microsoft, so if they're doing extremely well then Avanade does and then Accenture fights for their share of the money in some shady way.
