Pros

Name brand and if you fit in then you will probably go on higher. There are two section ATS and Consulting senior management is always from consulting.

Cons

work life balance is only on projects that have an agreement with the client of paying by the day not by the hour. In that case, what happens is that managers push for "work life balance" which means you go home at normal time and then work will have to be done in more days. Other projects are standard consulting /IBANking long hours. In addition, when you are trying to find a project you are looking for a job again. You have to send ppl resumes. Managers won't call you back unless there is something in it for them. The scheduling team has no clue whats going on. You get given projects which you have to take on as a graduate software engineer and then if you have done testing you get type cast in testing. Then if you go for a development role, the managers or TL from accenture will say you don't have developement experience !!! after a year. ! A friend of mine who had done a masters in electronics worked for months as an admin on project for senior managers. He was hired as a Software Engineer. He used to get laptops and security badges for them!. He was given bad reviews that he doesn't take initiative( maybe didn't get a security card fast enough) and eventually made to leave within the year. Accenture hires alot of graduates but fires alot too.

Pros

The best thing about working for Accenture is the great amount of knowledgeable people you work with and the variety of opportunities to be found within one company. It is also a great resume builder as it is a very well known and respected company.

Cons

Sometimes the company is more concerned with head count for a project instead of what is delivered, sometimes causing the hiring of a lot of incompetent people trying to work with technology that they do not have a proficiency for. This leads to a major degradation in the delivered product and questions of ethics. Also, promotions will be given based off not only hard work, but schmoozing as well.

Pros

The dynamic nature of the work where we can be placed at different client sites make work more interesting. Having the satisfaction of creating value for Accenture clients also brings great satisfaction in our jobs. Accenture provides helpful tools for developing your career using their performance management system and tools for developing your professional skills through online and classroom training.

Cons

Feeling disconnected from Accenture when placed at client sites for extended periods. The uncertainty of being able to find work on another project after rolling off of a project.
