Pros

Health Benefits are good. The people that work in ACS are what makes working for Accenture a tad bit enjoyable.

Cons

Where do I begin....ACS has a lot of great, smart people. The issue is that it seems as if Accenture does not care. They layoff employees that have been working there for YEARS and tell them that there are no positions available but then turn around and hire NEW people outside of Accenture that do not have an ounce of experience in the particular field that they are hiring for. At the same time that they are doing the layoffs, you can find positions on job boards saying that they are hiring. It doesn't make any sense to me how you can tell current employees that are about to be laid off that there are no open positions available but advertise that you are hiring on job boards. Why not redeploy current employees to other positions that are knowledgeable of processes instead of hiring new employees that require more training? Yes they do redeploy SOME folks but why not redeploy most workers instead of having multiple incoming training classes full of Non Accenture people? Working here you are not able to plan anything because you are living day to day wondering if you will have a job or not. That is no way to live and what makes working at Accenture so stressful. People have mortgages to pay for, car notes, etc.

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.
