Pros

Accenture is a great place to learn about consulting on a global scale. The health insurance plans are affordable and strong and 25 days of vacation is a big plus.

Cons

You will dedicate your life to your project and be told by management to only record 40 hours worked in a week despite this being clearly against Accenture policy. The bonus and merit structure is a complete joke. You will be told about solid bonuses and raises when you receive your verbal offer, but they do not come to fruition. Despite turning out very good numbers for FY 2014 and increasing the stock dividend 10%, the majority of employees did not receive a raise this year and bonuses averaged a paltry 2% for those at the Consultant level. I expect extremely high attrition in 2015.

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.
