Pros

The health benefits are nice.

Cons

When you first start at ACN, they lure developers in with the promise of AR, VR, and AI. They say you’ll be coding and learning new technologies. This is all a farce. You will not be coding and very, very, VERY rarely will you be working on projects that use the technologies listed above. Honestly, I was completely lied to. Instead, you’ll be stuck with an impossible workload doing work that doesn’t even relate to what you were told in the hiring process. Accenture management fosters an unhealthy relationship with work. They continue to say, “hey, this is a great +1” when realistically you’re at +10 with 12 hours of meetings in an 8 hour work day. Then all the “learning opportunities” will essentially be you testing out of training because you have no time to actually learn anything. You don’t even had time to use the restroom in your 8+ hour work day. If you’re on the business-side, it’s a pretty sweet gig. However, developers, the business will work you to the grave. If you wish to keep your coding skills and your mental health, don’t look here.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
