Pros

Very professional environment Very good implementation methodology Very stable firm with great access to knowledge Very good benefits and fair compensation gives consultants great opportunity to rise up and take ownership and drive projects Excellent place to launch career Gives you option to work internationally

Cons

Need to work long hours thus no work life balance Minorities are very few to none in senior management on a given project Does not give very good raises and the rating process lacks fairness with very few getting good raises and rest not getting any at all in this up or out model The firm has great delivery and great tools for methodology but lacks content and hence promotions are based on delivery rather than content. This is also because they hire a high % of consultants from college for certain workstreams where content is needed Senior management lacks the ability to use the best implementation methodologies Very few clients on west coast and hence if you are on west coast you end up travelling to 3 hour time zones thus a lot a west coast employees have no work life balance

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
