Pros

There's a general upbeat attitude about, people are willing to go out.

Cons

There are wide discrepancies in experience within the same titles. People brought in from the industry usually are shafted compared to the main Accenture-gang in terms of levels and salaries with no fast track options upon performance. Trainings are all in-house and very basic, if you've worked for a year, you will not get much out of them. Salaries are nothing to write home about and you will find some or the other networking event in your diary every evening after work. Off late the project quality has deteriorated to a contract quality, and unless you are in the core group, you will not get a whiff of any exciting innovative work that might be happening in the company.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
