Pros

- Active IT and professional community - Some very talented people - Good teaching programs for entry levels - Some very lovely committed people - Some very friendly people - Weird and wonderful work - Work from home - Fantastic work life balance

Cons

- Lot of general politics and a bit who you know not what you know in some accounts (not all mind you some are really good) - Anything with Accenture (dear God their systems are awful) - More 'Consultant' less IT work but lot of zero value to a customer causes a lot of unnecessary frustration at times - Lot of contracts are 80% ish graduates with 20% experienced workforce, causes a lot of stress for experienced staff who just want to get on with it - Very high turnaround in seniors due to demands and workload (new faces everyday, everything has to change at a drop of a hat etc because I'm now have a new boss etc because the other one left.) - Run of the mill salary with little wiggle room to negogiate with Accenture (won't even bring it up, business speak to avoid question) - SYNERGY, or any pointless business jargon that has zero meaning (stop this your better than this) - No real office culture or community, all online if you like that and lost a lot of its special sauce with the takeover. - Lack of real career progression and the system just makes naff all sense . People jokingly stated that it was concocted one afternoon after a heavy session down at the spoons. I sort of believe that it was.

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.
