Pros
Working at Accenture means a lot of access to many resources, both across industries and functions. There's a great internal network where one can just email or call someone they don't know to get advice when working on projects.
Cons
Accenture is way too big, meaning that the average employee is completely lost in the shuffle. Whereas the size of the company should create flexibility to experience different projects and move oneself towards career goals, we're constantly finding that unless you are a superstar, most people are pulled in directions that fits the company needs first, even if it's completely unrelated to the employee's development goals. Also, compensation is lower than most other consulting firms.
