Pros

Accenture is a great place to start your career. You have the opportunity to do some amazing things as a new college graduate what you would not otherwise, and in as few as 5 years, you can make it to management. In general, the people are amazing. You will work with some of the brightest and most hardworking; however after a few years, all the best people tend to leave for school or more money else where. Other pros: 5 weeks of PTO, able to move up quickly

Cons

The single biggest con of working for Accenture is the salary. You will find that your peers at other firms are consistently paid more to do less. Accenture expects you to travel 100% if you're in consulting. You have the "option" to choose local roles, but know that it will absolutely impact your career if you are unable to travel. Once you're aligned to a group, it is extremely difficult to move laterally, especially if there is high demand in your current alignment.

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.
