Pros

the opportunities to expand and grow professionally and the experience you gain early in career are extraordinary; Accenture has great faith in it's people and challenges everyone to give their best...this culture automatically creates a continuously improving talent base that is very rewarding

Cons

There is often a lot of personal sacrifice (work/life balance) that is only gets a small monetary compensation when compared to industry.

Pros

The variety of work and clients can be inspiring to know that ACN often works with the biggest firms from all business sector

Cons

The long hours and the promotion (laddering) process can be unfair to certain people who may, for one reason or another find themselves on a poorly managed project.

Pros

You'd be hard pressed to find another job where you'll meet such a multitude of people from different backgrounds, races, etc that are your age with a similar career mindset. I also can't think of a job with 5 weeks of vacation for new college grads (who ironically don't have the money to go anywhere with that kind of time).

Cons

Accenture's ability to promote completely mediocre people is truly astounding. They have these claims like "Meritocracy", "Up or Out", and "Best People". To be honest, from everything I've seen, there is a large talent gap between the pre-IPO Management and the lower level managers who will presumably take over. The longer I worked there, the more people I met that I truly respected...and then promptly watched large portions of those people leave. Being on large implementations (Accenture's bread and butter) gives you a strong feeling of being another warm body.
