Pros

Their PTO program is outstanding and definitely helps maintain a good work/life balance. Furthermore, it depends on the project that you're involved with but I had a very good experience with my project. The management was helpful whenever I needed anything and the work was challenging rather than being mundane busy work. Furthermore, since Accenture is such a global company, there is a lot of different choices for professional growth and there are a lot of people that will help you get where you want to be. The mandatory training can be a great way to network with fellow employees, although I personally didn't think the content was very useful.

Cons

As with the case with any company, you're bound to run into a couple of idiots when working for such a large company. However, it seemed that in Accenture, you have a higher chance or running into those who are very arrogant and think they are God's gift to the company. Also, the promotion process is almost like a lottery where you need to have a manager fighting for you in order to get promoted. A lot of times, due to this inefficient procedure, the new hire that goes out to happy hour with his manager seems to have a better chance of a promotion than those who do well but choose not to or cannot socialize with their managers (e.g. the manager is not a drinker or goes home after work each day, etc).

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.
