Pros

professional training and the structure of the teams when going into a project. I have worked at another firm and at that firm there was little training or good methologies when heading into a new project with a new client. Accenture seems to be on top of there game when it comes to getting professional development.

Cons

pay and workforce oranization. There are basically 4 different workforces here at accenture and these different workforces are treated differently. The pay sclae and benefits are different per workforce. I have worked on two different workforces and can see a completely different level of treatment from which workforce. The consulsting workforce is treated the best followed by enterprise and sertvices second then last is solutions. Benefits and salires are best for consulting then last is solutions. Plus the location also will set the salary scale.

Pros

As an Accenture employee, I work for a big customer of Accenture and on a long term contract. Not much travel required, which is good for me. (I have two kids under 6.) You get some training opportunities and learn different technologies, especially when the project get more complicated. Workload is not that terrible, did not work many over night in my past year. People are very nice and pretty tolerate each other with different culture. Accenture is a good name to put into resume. If you want some security, stay here. If you are young and competent, move ahead.

Cons

We have many managers have no idea about the technologies. Some horrible architecture and design are passed into implementation without enough technical review, usually because the managers lack technical skills. Out sourcing makes things even worse. Poor and inexperienced developers get hired at India and cause more work here, e.g., cleaning the code and more debug. What managers care is budget and deadline, not enough work has been done to coordinate the teams. All these add up. You can imagine the mess. It won't take too long to make your morale low. I think that's why I see many people leaving.
