Pros

1. You get to work with some really smart people and learn a lot from each other. 2. You are exposed to many nteresting large scale Projects. 3. You get to work in a very challenging environment which will truly test your consulting skills.

Cons

1. They pay very little attention to individual career objectives; their main concern is to make people chargeable. 2. They can make it extremely difficult to roll off a project to pursue other projects within the firm. 3. Promotions are largely based on how well you can form a relationship with senior management as opposed to actual "performance". Very poor expectation management when it comes to promotions and salary.

Pros

Great place to start a career. I learned a ton, got to see lots of different types of companies, and enjoyed my time at ACN.

Cons

Project selection can vary widely. They don't want you sitting 'on the bench' so whatever project picks you is where you'll go for your first 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.
