- Hard to take more than one week of vacation at a time due to work commitments. - Many managers seem to not have a technical background but are placed on IT projects. - Performance review process is done behind-the-scenes.

Pros

ACN has a good reputation in the IT sphere and can provide various opportunities across different sectors of the government. It also has a strong corporate culture and is very institutionalized in that way; I came from a much smaller firm and enjoyed the increased "systematic-ness" of ACN vs. the much more ad-hoc daily workings of a smaller company. While I do appreciate the advantages of a smaller firm in certain ways, ACN could leverage its size in many ways, internally and externally. The salary was also good--ACN offered me almost twice my salary from my previous job. Travel benefits were good as well.

Cons

The travel was extremely heavy. I was flying to the client site every monday, flying back home every thursday evening, for 6 month stretches. Not exactly a great situation for someone with a home and/or family. The work itself was also fairly monotonous; maybe for someone with an extensive IT background it would have been more interesting, but working on spreadsheets for 80% of my day was not my idea of "adding value." I did have access to the primary client as a junior consultant, but the numbers/spreadsheets ran the day; almost no real intuitive thought needed.

Pros

New hires receive 5 weeks of vacation time in the first year. There are lots of different work opportunities. Your colleagues are often fun people and the environment typically isn't too cutthroat.

Cons

The pay is low relative to many other consulting firms. Advancement often follows a set time line too stringently, leaving little room for a true meritocracy. Most projects are going to involve IT implementation, which I didn't personally enjoy. Consulting perks aren't quite what they are at other firms.
