Pros

Job security, due to high attrition AND due to many people don't actually do any meaningful work / contribute much to the task completion. Helpful colleagues - depends on luck & project. Some people here are actually helpful & competent.

Cons

Job security also means you'll be stuck here for the rest of your lives if you don't develop any other actual skill sets to survive outside. Don't be surprise with surprises Made scapegoat for someone else's mistakes, being stab by your own manager/cc/hr/colleagues, well, logically reasons are not needed; who cares the project going on since the ice age & you just joined. Don't create problem OK? Just go with the flow. Laughable. Project handovers are terrible or virtually does not exists. Worst if you need to work with parasites who somehow still in the project but does not know a thing. You are the new so-and-so? Here's everything(far from it of cause), don't ask me anything. kthxbye. Performance review is a farce, doesn't matter what you do if you are not among the selected & favorites, as well as in chosen projects. Nepotism is alive & well here. Stable projects will be taken from you & passed to others. No thanks for the work, but all credit goes to others. Unhelpful colleagues/co-workers - yep, these kind of people forget everything, completely washed hands after leaving the project. A lot of vultures will attempt to profit from your mistake (most are by far inherited from previous person). e.g. blame. Teamwork is demanded - but not practiced by the demanding person. Shoe shiners, yes man aplenty. Out of scope work - jobs that are supposed to be other person responsibility are passed to you. Do you enjoy extra no pay job? If you speak out, then you are a troublemaker, else you'll constantly be bullied here. Overly brilliant ideas - Do everyone involved in the project (e.g. 10 persons) need to wait for 1 person to do deployment? The answer is yes here. Career progression is very dim, due to most people on top will never move till end of time or until their house of cards collapse on them. Plus they do not allow you to transfer to more "pleasant/bearable" divisions within Accenture. Leadership qualities almost not exists, only misuse of authority & threat. Ideas are dismissed by management who asked for them in the first place, what a joke. Managements have no direction or ideas, only what to each for lunch & dinner, and snake away another day. General lack of competence - yes, the quality of work is bad, terrible, whorible (no pun intended) in all department. Issues inherited since ice age are repeated. Some management hardly have any basic domain knowledge in the first place. Graveyard - Generally, this is the place other divisions of Accenture will sent to retire permanently early (most lasted between 1 week to 1 month) You are all most welcomed to experience the "experience" of your life.

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.
