Pros

- looks good on resume if you are in consulting - if you like the work and the people it can be a rewarding experience. - Accenture offers an unusually large number of vacation days

Cons

- the company is too large, almost impossible to get to partner level - not all partners have the same interest in retaining top quality employees - for services workforce salary increases can be very disconnected from your performance, seems like the annual process is designed to build in excuses for why increases are small - deadline driven culture means that there are frequent periods where long hours are expected. - services projects are structured around the notion that you have to be at your desk to be productive, telecommuting was frowned upon.

Pros

Good place to start a career due to variety of assignments and travel opportunities. The other great benefit is that the firm is without a doubt the best at what it does (a relative distinction, however), sells like nobody else in the business (a double edged sword) and is a truly global organization. Exposure to other countries, cultures, and work forces is a great experience.

Cons

Too much travel. Sales team over promises, delivery team under delivers. As a member of the Outsourcing line of business there was the dual downside of being a facilitator of the movement of good paying jobs located in America to overseas locations (Eastern Europe, India, China, Philippines) and having to plan and implement "Knowledge Transfer" activities (i.e. please train your replacement). Unless you're in the Thomas Friedman camp on world economics it's depressing work. The other difficulty I had was as a mid-level manager, I did not have a great deal of autonomy or authority in the projects I was assigned.
