Pros

You will work alongside some of the smartest people in the industry. Accenture gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and highly relevant skills. Company name is highly respected (looks great on a resume).

Cons

The pay is astoundingly low. Accenture's raises are well below the market average, bonuses are well below market average, and salary is well below market average. In general someone leaving this company can expect to get paid 10-20k more by a competitor. Accenture has also decided to virtually freeze promotions this year. So while many qualified individuals are performing at the next level, pay and title does not reflect that. You can expect to work very long hours and not get rewarded at Accenture. If you work at Accenture just make sure to learn as much as you can and leave, this company is not interested in keeping employees long term. And if you don't work here but are interested in working here, tread cautiously. This company has very poor work-life balance and even worse pay.

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.
