Pros

Accenture is a global company, and for some reason that I can't really understand, it has a lot of prestigious clients in its portfolio. This is a good thing, because it will give you plenty of exposure to MUCH better places to work, and will allow you to shop for a new employer. Also, if you like the meaningless pursuit of activities such as drinking, partying and other "high school" level fun, you'll love ACN. Management truly believe that this is the only reward they need to supply you in exchange of the amazingly high amount of free overtime you'll be doing for them.

Cons

That's a funny question.... Let me be blunt: unless you're right out of college, away from any other better places to work, not interested in work-life balance and willing to give the company access to EVERY hour you have (including evenings and weekends), with poor benefits and incredibly incompetent managers, stay away from Accenture.

Pros

Breadth of exposure to all parts of big business and senoir people giving you a solid understanding of the indutry you service - more so than if you were in a line roe at one of Accenture's clients.

Cons

Lack of consistet representation during performance reviews can make promotions difficult and stressful, and seem unfair if your boss is not good at poeple management. If you are unlucky enough to be out of town this can have a significant impact on your work / life balance. Unfortunately you have to work anywhere, so this is completely out of your control so you have to be prepared for anything

Pros

Decent benifit package. Accenture is ok if you are just breaking into the workforce.

Cons

Poor feedback on performance. Always told performing at 3-4 levels beyond my level. When time comes for compensation and promotions, given to others who had less responsibilty but not the higher performers. It didn't matter the level of work turned in it was a popularity contest. Rub shoulders with the managers and you would be lattered higher than those that outperformed you but did not hang out.
