Pros

Within my first three years I've been promoted twice, +50% hourly wage, travel weekly halfway across the US delivering great solutions in a niche industry, potential job security for decades, competitive salary and great benefits. I've worked in Oil & Gas, Aerospace & Defense, I now have a rolodex of engineers and developers from this job alone.

Cons

I got lucky, almost none of my coworkers hired alongside me are even still working here, and those that are aren't doing what they want. And that's not meant as a brag, there's no special sauce that kept me afloat in chargeability, I was simply selected for some internal job and bounced up from there. Take the "Pro" section as the potential here, not the standard. Accenture demands your networking skills, your weekend hours, and part of your sanity. Your hours will be spent putting out manager's fires, you will hear "well, it has to be done by Monday" Friday at 4PM a lot. Your resume will sparkle but it will bleed you dry. Use it for networking and hope you find a nice project.

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.
