Pros

Accenture is a great big company, but still manages to feel small in some places (see cons as well). Community is a big focus area, and they do a reasonably good job of making you feel like you belong. Work arrangements are flexible, which many people very much appreciate, particularly those with children.

Cons

Accenture is a great big company, it can sometimes be challenging to get things accomplished, and nearly impossible to make any changes to process. This is perhaps to be expected, but can be very frustrating if you have ideas - this is a company best suited to people who like to be told how to do their jobs, and who will just do it as instructed without getting ideas about better ways to accomplish the same thing. The worst downside, though, is that - as a public company - there is always focus on the quarterly results - so long-term benefits are not examined at all. The business is run quarterly, anything outside that view is completely irrelevant.

Pros

While it did not work out for me, Accenture is a very fair employer. The best part is being surrounded by intelligent competent people.

Cons

Feedback on performance is not very clear. They tend to skirt around issues and don't get to the heart of the matter in a realistic way.

Pros

High caliber people - (almost) everyone is very smart with great follow through; Interesting and challenging work - a great place to gain experience.

Cons

Average to below average salaries; Excessively schedule driven culture which can lead to ridiculous deadlines, long hours, and challenges with quality of delivery; HR function and processes are hopelessly bureaucratic and mired in "HR speak"; Employee reward system is too narrowly focused on top 5% leaving many very good employees with little recognition (or $) .
