Pros

Accenture is a prestigious place to work, and adds much to your CV, especially if you are just starting out with your career. You are given a lot of autonomy as a senior manager, no one looks over your shoulders. They also have a great team of IT support for a consultant, you are never left to struggle with your IT needs.

Cons

It is a competitive dog-eat-dog world. I started brand new as a senior manager, and received zero guidance and support, from peers or partners. Accenture's org structure is such that you do not actually have a manager. You have a mentor, who you do not report to, but is supposed to reach out to you and help you. Mine didn't, he was missing in action the whole time. I never heard from him except maybe once in 6 months. You cannot rely on fellow senior managers, as they are competing to become partner before you do. It is not a nice environment to work in, as a new hire.

Pros

The brand is great. It is a truly global company. You can learn a lot at Accenture and there is always an opportunity due to the sheer breadth of the company's service portfolio.

Cons

Military style leadership and promotion. Work life balance for more junior staff is not good. Since the partnership model has been replaced by equity stakes, the career model no longer really works for more senior staff. This has an impact on the quality of leadership in the company and the career experience at lower levels.
