Pros

My experience with Accenture was a good one overall. I was hired out of college and they immediately throw you into a "sink or swim" environment. It was a great learning experience and I was able to really bolster my technical skills. Additionally, the network you'll be plugged into can be a tremendous asset.

Cons

Although all my reviews through the years were either satisfactory or above, I felt I wasn't being compensated fairly for the works I was doing. Accenture has a somewhat strange compensation model and it depends quite a bit of when you get hired, where you get hired, and the the type of work you're doing. After 5 years with the company, I was managing a small development team and I found out that several of my direct reports (who were at an Analyst level) were making at or more than I was. Not cool. Also, I had requested several times to assist with proposal and/or other business development efforts and each time I was politely told that at my level (consultant) there was nothing they could offer me.

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.
