Pros

Accenture is a fabulous place to work if you have the perseverance to put up with the long hours and hard work. The people you work with on the Consulting side are passionate, intelligent, dedicated and hard working. The pay is fantastic. The company perks are great - expense card, hotels, apartments, training but beware the glamour that hides the dark side. The politics involved in getting Promoted ensure that you give work priority over your personal life. This is an Up or Out organisation no matter how they gloss it up. If you have the stamina to put up with the politics and hard work required for promotion then this is the place for you. If you are happy staying put then don't bother applying. The skills you take away from here are second to none - every other career will be a breeze after this.

Cons

-The company is changing with the introduction of the solutions workforce. Increasingly the work of the consulting analysts is being taken over by this part of the organisation where the pay and motivation is lower. This is not however being taken into account by the partnership team selling work and senior management creating project timelines. Result - Aggressive project timelines without the quality of team you would previously have expected and a very stressed consulting workforce. - Poor senior management direction and support Its not the same company as it was 5 years ago but still looks great on your cv.

Pros

Respect for work life balance: stretches of long days are offset by comp days, easy to request and get vacation days off. Company encourages good balance.

Cons

Once you've completed a project in a specific area, it's easy to be labeled an 'expert' in that field and difficult to move on to other type of projects.
