Pros

You can move between projects if you like.

Cons

Dealing with different time zones, they prioritize IST, so you basically work during IST working hours and yours. They say they embrace "agile" but in reality there is no real velocity concept, no retros, stand ups can take hours, every team has a imposed commitment of story points, which is the same for all teams. Often force off shore teams to work 24 hours straight hours or more in order to reach commitments, and they are proud of it under the "meritocracy" fallacy, where at the end, only close friends of management end up getting promoted.

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.
