Pros
Good for gaining experience. Career advancement is relatively fast compared to industry. You can learn a lot if you make a conscious effort.
Cons
Work-life balance doesn't exist. Travelling can take a lot out of you. By the time you get home on Thurs/Fri, you're completely exhausted. Depending on the project, you do get some time to explore the city you're in and have a good time, but that's the exception, not the rule. Salaries are terrible compared to the industry. To get promoted, it's not always how good of a job you do, but who you know. Accenture resources are bright and hardworking, but lack technical skills. Sometimes you will find that you have to pick up the slack for the less technically gifted.
