Many opportunities to expand skills and learn
Truly a global company - you work with people from all over
Excellent training and methodologies
Very ethical company
Accenture Development Partnership - allows you to use your skills to work for non-profits and charitable organizations while still getting paid.

Work - Life balance can be quite hard to achieve. There are a lot of programs that support this balance, but actually getting them to work with the Consulting career can be a challenge. Seattle is better than many other US offices in this area.
Raises between promotion years are low
