Pros

Great benefits, probably one of the best in the industry. Big name to improve your CV

Cons

(Accenture Newspage) Very bad project management. Expect long hours daily and during public holidays and weekends. Work/life balance is little to none. System is a total mess. Bugs and performance issues everywhere. New features are added every year (thus causing more bugs to be added to existing ones) Promotion will depends on whether you got the attention of the big bosses or not Very low annual increment. It's so low that you would not believe it's coming from a global MNC. Using in-house framework thus you get no help outside. limited exposure to other technologies. You are expected to know everything. For a technical person, you are expected to do server setup, DB Administration, coding, dealing with customers, explaining functional items to customers, and even creating design specifications and test cases (Technical + Functional + Project Management + Tester) Some Project Managers doesnt even know the functional part of the products. Stress level is super high so make sure you have good stress management skills. Management team does not demonstrate leadership skills and doesnt really know how to grow their underhands. The only good point here is that if you can survive here then you can do so any where else. No appreciation for lower level employees. Credits all goes to Manager and above.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
