Pros

Professional growth and career advancement. If you're young and hungry, then this is the place for you. You won't get this kind of experience anywhere else. You can work like a dog for 5 years then leave for a job somewhere "sane." Be prepared to work like a dog for the privilege, though. Enjoy the dinners and events, but understand that your social calendar will be limited to the people you work with.

Cons

While Accenture officially places a priority on work/life balance, in practice, it's completely different. You are expected to "live" Accenture if you want to advance. If you think you can get away with 8-5 Monday through Friday, you're not going to get anywhere. Managers and above are expected to be available during evenings and weekends. Blackberrys are on 24/7. If you're looking for a job that you can leave at 4/5 o'clock and forget about...forget about it.

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.
