Pros

Opportunities galore to stretch your capabilities. Great pay, benefits, PTO, 401k, and stock. Very professional atmosphere with many programs to support diversity and create equality.

Cons

Long hours, demanding clients and even more demanding leadership. They say they care about work life balance but in theory only. Competitive and political when it come to end of year ratings which affect bonus and promotion.

Pros

Vestiges of excellence in pockets focused on the latest technologies Training opportunities if you are in the right group

Cons

Despite strong corporate results, management invented some undisclosed "internal" metrics that were used to justify paying an average bonus well below target along with mediocre raises. Typically long work hours and extended travel associate with consulting. 400,000 employees with only 10% onshore. Average revenue per employee less than average profit per employee at some leading tech companies. Constant pressure to squeeze more uncompensated hours out of employees to meet Street expectations and secure C-Suite bonuses.

Terrible Place to Work

Pros

People at the lower levels are smart, engaging, and good coworkers. Pay is decent although at the lower end compared to Accenture's peers. The women at Accenture are awesome and do their best in a male-dominated environment.

Cons

Strategy work non-existent. Leadership only interested in meeting Wall Street's numbers, managing directors and sr. manager's interested only in selling and getting ahead, lip service to building a good culture and caring about people, internal processes that just don't work (ironic that to get anything fixed by internal IT is a massive investment in time with offshore folks - it's like being at the DMV), unethical behavior frequently observed. For those joining the firm with a MBA like I did, don't believe anything they promise you. Very little turns out to be true.
