Pros

Getting Accenture on your resume is always good. People know that if you can hack it at Accenture you can hack it anywhere. There are opportunities to learn a lot, but mostly opportunities to work a lot. There are many other talented people that work for accenture and if you're fresh out of school it's probably one of the best places to get some experience, but if you're a pure computer science major you might be a but disappointed with the work that you get to do. In terms of complexity it's not exactly the of the high tech industry.

Cons

Long hours, and military scheduled promotions, crappy pay. Right out of school they pay is great and that's how they get you, but if you don't move on after 1-2 years you're getting significantly under paid. Meetings meetings and more meetings. The upper management, in a play to justify their own presence, significantly complicate every project. Additionally, it matters little how well you perform in your tests, promotions come at set intervals. This is really demoralizing if you're a talented worker and already doing work at the next level. There is virtually no way to get properly leveled at Accenture.

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.
