A strong focus on career development and growing employees from within.
Pros
Accenture has a strong focus on career development, and, given the right project manager, you can soon be on the "fast track" to promotions. Two caveats: (1) you have to perform and perform well and (2) your senior manager must have "selected" you as the one to move through the ranks with him (or her). Sometimes the latter is not the most fair of processes, but people who have reached the level of senior manager are not dumb and have their pick of the talent pool, so there is a science behind the madness. Overall a great place to work. Also, the 80 hour work weeks of old finally seem to be a thing of the past.
Cons
As mentioned previously, you can soon be on the "fast track" to promotions. Two caveats: (1) you have to perform and perform well and (2) your senior manager must have "selected" you as the one to move through the ranks with him (or her). Sometimes the latter is not the most fair of processes, but people who have reached the level of senior manager are not dumb and have their pick of the talent pool, so there is a science behind the madness. Overall a great place to work with plenty of opportunities. Work hard and you will be rewarded.
