Pros

- Can get ahead if you are willing to game your life for promotions (an attitude to do anything is required) - it forces you to be satisfied with where you are in life (don't expect hikes / promotions)

Cons

- Consulting is run like a BPO - Worst hikes in industry - promotions are based on slots available, you won't be promoted unless all 9 planets of client, leadership, your manager all align and the alignment happens during the review month - the work in consulting is anything but consulting - very low quality work - If you are a management graduate trying to join Accenture, I'd recommend you don't.
