Pros

Solid brand name. Various projects among elite companies, so you have the chance to gain experience quickly in many sectors and find which industry you prefer.

Cons

Very low pay if you consider the hours you work. No work life balance. Lack of respect and recognition. You are just a number here, a resource to be assigned to a project. The quality of employees is fairly average compared to top management consulting firms. You won't find many Oxbridge or LSE students here. High attrition. There is massive hiring, especially during good times, but most leave after a couple of years either because of burnout or because of reasons above mentioned. And the managers couldn't care less to keep talent.

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.
