Pros
* Good opportunities for career advancement * Can develop new skills because of the variety of projects available * Easy to approach senior leadership * Excellent people - very easy to work with * Strong brand name
Cons
* Poor compensation compared to peers. Accenture is one of those firms that hires MBA's as well as non MBA's and very often both seem to be doing the same work (if you are a Management Consulting employee). Not surprisingly, the MBA compensation is significantly higher than others. While things even out by the time a person makes Sr. Manager, a clearly divided policy like this can lead to a lot of disgruntled employees. Far too often, we lose excellent employees because of poor compensation * For the most part, even if you are in Management Consulting, it is nearly impossible to avoid a technology based project (unless you work in strategy). For many folks, this is not exactly what they signed up for when they took a job in 'Management Consulting'
